Students Prepare for Changing World of lVlath XX ABOVE: SPECIAL DESKS and large instruments make it easier for Jim Gober to plot circular graphs. Math teachers left to ri ht To R Equipped with the newest facilities and visual aides, the Nlath Department pre- pared future mathematicians for the ever- changing world of math. Students in applied math explored the basic fundamentals of math, while Alge- bra students struggled with balancing equations. Geometry students learned the principles of proofs as well as problems concerning space figures. Trigonometry classes were introduced to the slide rule and its importance in solving problems. For students desiring a deeper study in the field of math, the department offered a special senior math course. I ,if X X I XX .x x , g p ow Mrs. Juanita Fuller, lVlr.

Advanced Biology Takes Biochemical Approach Aided by modern equipment, dedicated teachers, comprehensive courses and a lab technician, Dobyns-Bennett's science de- partment presented up-to-date information tostudents. Although advanced biology students took a biochemical approach to the course, all students were exposed to the basics of zoology and botany. Directed by two new teachers, the chem- istry department made a concentrated effort to teach students proper use of lab facilities. Laboratory experiments comple- mented material studied from the text. Although physics students spent much time studying electricity and nuclear energy, they concentrated on communications electronics, taught in the nerve center. Physical science students profited from demonstrations in the fields of heat, light and sound. RODNEY LYTLE AND Mickey Kiss take great care to achieve accuracy while measuring materials fora physics lab test.
