. - 4 I lx I -tr' grant, r-'P ,Arm fi -K f I A lmowledge of man's history is always useful and important to the serious and curious student. To learn the proper significance of the developments in history, many students enroll in this elective course. By studying what has happened in the past, one can better understand the problems of today. United States History, a required course for all juniors, follows America's early colonization to today's issues. World History is a study of the beginnings of civilizations and of nations that have risen to greatness. Civics stu- dents learn the basics of government and study current events. Sociology and economics devotes study to the way we live both socially and individually.United States government creates informed voters and citizens for to- morrow. By the year's end, students are able to discuss various phases of history- from ancient to current, r' '- ln- .f 155-'1',.ff .31ssY3 2 f' '- . ass- -wr 'ti-A 'J'-, - j'brf 'f-fight, .:. .

Linda Wade and Donna Murray seem to feel that four hands are better than two when it comes to lighting a bunsen burner. Chemistry students find that cleaning up after a lab is tedious work. science sfimulafes understanding of narural forces around us When the first atomic device was exploded under the hot desert sand of Arizona, a new age beganfor the whole world. Yes, on that day, the Atomic Age was born by the splitting of an atom. Although the science students of Eastern split no atoms, they feel the affect of the Atomic Age because of the great emphasis on scientific knowledge. In biology and advanced biology, students complained about the frogs, the bacteria, the bugs, and the cleaning up, but most of them will be back for more of that horrible mess next year. Chemistry students got a big bang out of explosions that were only small pops. They worked as hard to under- stand the Gas Laws as Boyle and Kelvin did to prove them. And they learned that one mole is really more than one small blind, four-legged animal, Time, space, and material phenomena occupied the minds of the physics students. Nights were spent reading chapters and working tricky problems, days were spent sleeping in class and breaking lab equipment. It was a year spent studying light, pendulums, pulleys, and ripple tanks. At the beginning of the year, science students were urged to purchase a ticket for a tour of the sciences of the universe. Those who bought the round-trip ticket and took the tour learned much as they prepared for to- morrow by learning today.
