Math class competition new this year Competition with slide rules and contests involving number sense are just a few of the ways the Math De- partment has attempted to make its subjects more interesting. A wide variety of math classes ex- tend from the basic algebra and ge- ometry to trigonometry. These classes are available to teach stu- dents basic knowledge that will be useful to them throughout many fields. Mark Schrier and Dennis Pugh, seniors, work with the computer during first period trigonometry. Mrs. Mary Heins, analytic-trigonometry teacher, contemplates a way to explain a difficult problem while second period students wait patiently. academics

Science class project NASA nears end By expanding its curriculum to in- clude such courses as aerospace and geology, the Science Department has plunged farther into an intriguing world. Biology, chemistry, physics and physical science are still being ex- plored by a majority of students. Those who wish to further their sci- entific education may take advanced science. The NASA program, begun last year by Miss Yvonne Lozano's Science III students, is in its final stage here. The program is centered around Vitamin E and fruit flies. If Vi- tamin E can expand the life of fruit flies, it may later affect man in the same way. lack Ponsford and Stewart Given, seniors, discuss experiment during sixth period physics class. Donald Stephenson, Chuck Hill and Tom Brice, juniors, assemble a free-air balloon during fifth period aerospace class, a recently added course. 20 academics
