Frogs, Test Tubes Inspire Scientists ' An exposed beating heart shows biology students the blood-pumping func- tion of this main organ. In studying pollination, Martha Moore traces the route of the sperm for Fay Calyan in this large flower section. Manual ' s Science Department urges inter- ested pupils on to higher scientific achieve- ments by offering everything from training in the correct scientific attitude to the study of energy. Freshman Science and Physical Sci- ence are both non-laboratory courses, usually taken by students not on academic diplomas. Biology is a study of all living things and their biological relationships to each other. Many live animals are kept in the class rooms for students to view. Chemistry, one of our three laboratory courses, is an actual study of the composition of matter and the nature of chemical change. Besides his regular work, each chemistry student has a project. The best of these are taken to the annual Science Fair, this year, April 7. Physics is a study of energy with special emphasis on its mathematical meaning. Cathy Nolting and Bob Surber work with Semi-Micro laboratory equip- ment which is being used for the first time in Indianapolis this year. Two students share a reagent tray which makes the chemicals more easily available to the students as well as easier to handle. 12

French I students follow along in their textbooks and respond as they listen through their ear phones. The language lab equipment enables French and Spanish pupils to hear lessons taped by native speakers and record their own voices. Through the equipment, teachers can converse with the entire class or with an individual. Languages Sharpen Minds, Train Memories Presenting a Roman play for their Advanced Latin class was a proj- ect for these toga-clad Manualires. Ricki Magnes, Marlene Stachow, Brenda Richardson, Virginia Speck, and Sue Woolwine wrote and pre- sented the play in both Latin and English. 11

Math Classes Grow with Space Age With the ever-increasing emphasis being placed on the Space Age, high schools are focusing more and more attention on their math programs. Manual ' s math instruction ranges from general and business math to analytic geometry. Algebra I and II, Plane Geometry, Algebra III, Solid Ceometry, Trigonometry, and Algebra IV make up the succession of courses. These help to prepare the prospective college student for further education, and many boys majoring in Indus- trial Arts concentrate on math. Students especially interested in math can join the Math Honor Club. This club is open only to students, other than fresh freshman, who receive A ' s or B ' s in math courses. Mrs. jennie Howe, the club ' s sponsor, always plans to have a challenging math problem available for the attending members. Field trips and guest speakers provide interesting instruction and diversion from the weekly meetings. Mr. Fred Ahlemeyer clears up a problem for Jayne Perkon, one of his geometry students, in a conference. As members of the class work diligently at their desks with compasses, protractors, and rulers, a pupil takes over as teacher and constructs the problem at the chalk board in one of Mr. Raymond VanArsdale ' s Ceometry classes. 13
