'Q Verbal and Visual Talent Everywhere Art and music: two rapidly expanding departments. Eisenhower's art department this year included everything from 2-D De- sign through independent studies such as ceramics or contract studio. The music de- partment consisted of several excellent sounding choirs and bands. The art classes this past year were well- noted and highly regarded for its students. Many talented students preceeded through the art room, producing some beautiful pieces of art which often were winners of local art shows. From drawing and painting to ceramics and sculpture the art classes were always full. After taking the two basic art courses, art students explored many dif- ferent frontiers of artistic challenges. Music classes were also considered as or- ganizations. The choirs sang very nicely, always with a song for every0ne's pleasures. Among the different choirs were the fresh- man choir, advanced girls' choir, concert choir, and the Tiptones. The bands expanded in performance this year. Always accompanying our games, the bands met as classes and practiced every by other classes when the weather was nice enough for them to practice on the football field. Other times they played in their own classroom, their music secluded to all but a few classrooms which were in the band room's vicinity. Students who participated in both de- partments learned a great dealg they just didn't perform. Art students not only learned how to do somethingg they learned that there is a purpose behind doing art and they also saw some of the artwork done by artists in the past. The music students, whether in choir or band, learned much more than just how to play their instru- ments or sing certain waysg they learned about the reasons and effects of their per- formance. The music and art departments may con- tinue to expand as there is new require- ments for graduation that include options for both departments. Eisenhower showed much talent both places this ycarg they had quite talented artists and extremely good musicians. By: Robert Hanson 8a Bruce McGee day of the week.

Facts and Figures uation an q ' d Many students moaned and groaned at the idea of math: others were elated at the mere mention ofthe word. Math was a sub- ject students either really liked or hated: there seemed to be no middle ground. The range of subjects ran from consumer math to calculus. That didn't mean the con- sumer math students had an easier time at it than the advanced students, however. Every teacher taught a wide scope of math. It wasjust as challenging to teach the lower levels as the higher ones. E:mc2: one of the most easily recalled equations, yet few know its true meaning. Not all science was based on equations thrown together to mean something. Sci- ence was very broad in spectrum, starting Concept ' from the basics such as comprehensive sci- ence to the complicated chemistry and physics. An understanding of the wide range of , sciences was difficult, but teachers illus- trated in such a way that students could A grasp the meaning. ' When there was an explosion in the chemistry lab, many considered it a fur- thering of knowledge: never put sodium and water in the same test tube again! f .--' 'lt I. - by Kellie Jones DEMONSTRATING CONCEPTS with the use of the periodic table is Mrs. Heiden, science department head.
