I SOME DAYS YOU HAVE YOUR UPS ANO OWNS... OTHER DAYS YOU GET THE SHAFT! Math room mascot. SENIOR MATH: The senior math students have one goal in mind. To prepare him or herself for college mathematics. The course teaches a wide wide variety of topics in¬ cluding trigonometry and pre-callculus math. This year a great amount of material was covered as compared to previous years. There were eleven seniors in the class this year. Jeff Rockey works on a problem at the board. Teacher Dan Thiel goes over a test. GENERAL MATH: This course is mainly for those not planning to fur¬ ther their education after high school. They cov¬ ered, this year, adding, subtarcting, multiplying, dividing, and such math¬ ematical skills as are bas- basic to survival in to¬ day ' s society. There were 29 students. ALGEBRA I: This year ' s Algebra I class was introduced to new text¬ books. The books are similar to the old. They covered nearly all the basic topics in elemen¬ tary Algebra, especially everyone ' s favorite, story problems, at the chalk¬ board. GEOMETRY: This year ' s class was an ex¬ cellent one covering more material than ever before. This includes formal proofs about points, lines, and planes. Due to the extra time, the chapter on construc¬ tion with an unmarked straightedge and com¬ pass was covered. There were 17 boys and 15 girls involved in this class.

I Mr. Temple PHYSICAL SCIENCE: The freshman Physical Science class serves the purpose of preparing those students who choose to continue on in their junior and senior years in Physics and Che mistry. BIOLOGY: Due to the lack of laboratory speci¬ mens this year, sopho¬ more biology began with a book study of the ani¬ mal classification sys- Kerry Brigle disects a worm. tern. In the spring, though, Theron Clymer became the chief supplier of live worms, tadpoles, and crayfish for the class. Mr. Temple also sup¬ plied a carpenter ant. Additional class activi¬ ties included drawnig animal diagramatics and describing animal char¬ acteristics habitats, and ecology. PHYSICS: A major change in this year ' s Jun¬ ior Physics class was the concentration on theoret¬ ical rather than applied labs. The topics covered this year were force, mo¬ tion, atomic theory, heat, wave motion, light, and electricity. Seven students took Physics, which was three less than the previous year. Mr. Temple explains a lab to Curt Stantz. CHEMISTRY: The first part of the Senior Chemistry class consisted of lecture and book study. This was followed by lab¬ oratory practice in chem¬ ical procedure and analy¬ sis. The highlight of the year was when each chemistry student re¬ ceived a bottle of twelve unknown substances of which they had to find ten by chemical analys¬ is. Six students took Chemistry this year.
