SCIENCE Haack Returned As Teacher Science at DHS was a broad subject and many classes were offered. Of the required classes, the sophomores had Physical Science first semester and Biology second semester. The former covered such topics as light, sound waves, color and mechanical machines. Many competencies were completed in this class, as well as in Biology. Students enrolled kept a notebook of all labs, vocabulary and projects. Films, labs and independent study added interest, while extra credit projects were also an option. Chemistry and Physics were offered to juniors and seniors; each depended heavily on class participation. The new addition to the science department, Bob Haack, returned as a teacher and alumnus. Indulged in an extensive laboratory assignment are sophomores Delmar Marks, Mark Gillins, Patty Kid and Debbie Sharp. 22VScience

PHYSICAL EDUCATION Teamwork Stressed Expansion in the P.E. Department was seen with the addition of two tennis courts to the originals, bringing the total to four and providing twice as much room for students desiring the tennis unit. At a cost of $500.00, two handball goals were purchased and these enabled a new sport to be covered. For the first time, girls weren’t restricted to wearing P.E. uniforms; rather they were allowed to wear their own attire, as long as it was appropriate. Mrs. Pam Casteel, instructor, felt that the change was for the best, since it eliminated the complaint about everyone having to wear the same uniforms. Boys P.E. classes were involved with many of the same units and skills as were the girls. Popular ones included team handball, basketball and touch football. These went over especially well because of the favorable weather we had, much of the year. Of all activities, bowling was “the hands down” winner in popularity.
