Science Students Explore The Unknown orld Gary Kirkham, Science, takes a breather from his freshmen Biology Class. Mr. Daniel Gions and Mr. Gary Kirkham tried to make this year one of the best in science because it is a very important part of todays understanding of tomor- row's world. Most relative things evolve around science and its divisions. In Mr. Goins' classes, his eighth graders had a chance to experience making a weather station and to study its use in the atmosphere. In geology they studied various rocks and their formation. While in the ninth grade, the students learned from many of his science B's . Mr. Kirkham had physiology added to his classes. In this college prep course, the students disected a fetal pig and a cat. Also they preformed an urinalisis. In Biol- ogy l, pupils did their usual disecting of a fish and a frog. While in advanced Biology, Mr. Kirkham built on the students knowledge from their previous years of science and tried to transform it into bilogical know how. Kathy Ford, lack Keesling, Craig Wessar, and Gary DeLong find that Geometry class is not always exciting. Relaxing from his teaching, Daniel Gions. junior High Science, reads a magazine. Science 17

The Mathematical orld ls A onder To Students QT One of the daily tasks of Bruce Baldwin, Mathematics, is helping a student to find the correct answer to a problem. W? While students are hard at work, john Craig, Mathematics, reads the morning This year, the Mathematics department was taught by three well trained math teachers. The teachers were Mr. Larry Rees, Mr. john Craig, and Mr. Bruce Baldwin. Mr. Rees doubled as a math teacher and a science teacher. He had control over two chemistry classes this year. ln his senior math class, he taught pre-calculus for college preparation of his students. Mr. Rees taught two geometry classes this year. With the math room being moved to the bigger room 1, it provided more room for the expanded class size this year. In Algebra ll, Mr. Baldwin built upon Mr. Craig's teachings in Algebra I. This was Mr. Baldwin's first year of teaching Algebra ll. With all the interest in math lately the teachers have aquired some more equipment to help expand the stu- dents mind. With these three good and well trained teachers it's no wonder that the students are smarter these days. 16 Mathematics Mathematics, Larry Rees, lectures to the class on the wonders of the systematical world.

English Gives Students Power Of Language Cindy Keever, English, marks down grades in her grade book. Murriel Wessol, English, explains assignments to students. 18 English The English department has undergone a slight change this year. A new approach to the teaching of the fundamentals of our language was tried. Students saw more films and movies than before. The sophomore class attended the movie, Sounder . The traditional lit- erature and grammar books were used but application of language was strongly emphasized. Students held discussions, gave speeches, and did much creative writing. The teachers have used this approach in hopes that the students may renew their interest in English. Al- though knowledge of language is so very important, it is hard to concentrate on something a person feels they are completely familiar with. But correct usage of lan- guage is essential for the future. journalism is one class that can show just how much English knowledge a per- son has or does not have. Violet Schonhardt, English and journalism, takes time out from her duties as yearbook advisor.
