Tl15T'5 li, Ned, start counting--it might take a long time though! A Brand New World Bewildered, Confused, and Destitutef' These words describe the mood of many students as they enter into the world of science. For others the doors of the science department open into a new realm of enlightenment and fascination. Whether it be Biology, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology, Physics, or Semi-Micro Qualitative Anal- ysis, no science student can deny that a challenge is put before him. Biology, primarily for freshmen, is open to all high school students. It is a study of living things, including everything land anything! from the muscles of a frog to the genes of a human being. The advanced sciences, Chemistry, Physics, and Qual-Analysis, are reserved for iuniors and seniors who are working for an academic diploma with a science major. These three sciences involve seyeral hours per semester of independnt labora- tory work on the part of the student. With the growing importance of the sciences in our everyday lives, all these courses are being stressed more and more in high schools and each year brings an increase in the number of students under the influence of our science de- partment.

Fingers Are Answer to Higher Mathematics Dan Dunham and Bill High explain an analytical geometry problem to Mr. Wilcox. A wide variety of courses, ranging from General Math to Trigonometry and analytic geometry, are part of the mathematics department. The constant efforts of our instructors enable them to aid us with the most effective up-to-date methods. Not only the fundamental theorems, but also history and theories are included in current math classes. Geometric figures, algebraic equations and trig formulas present challenges for the many college bound students in Delphi High School. Although the tough problems are tackled with compass, pro- tractor, graph board, and a new overhead pro- jector, they don't get any easier. Richard Newell takes his turn at using the overhead protector in trigonometry class. Future mathematical geniuses, Mike Van Sickle and Sue Lachen- maier work on an Algebra Il problem.
