Space Age Challenges Mathematics Students, At the blackboard, Sally Sublett, Algebra I student, finds the value of X in one of her homework problems. In his informal Advanced Math class of five members, Mr. Ben Parke teaches the fundamentals of calculus. The Math and Science Departments gave Manual- ites an opportunity to develop an awareness to the world around them. Beginning algebra students stud- ied the basic theories of proof, factoring, linear equations, and square roots. Three-dimensional mod- els of pyramids, cones, cylinders, and spheres add- ed a bit of visual realism to the solid geometry course. The five seniors who met with Mr. Ben Parke lor the advanced math class continued their studies with calculus and analytic geometry. With scalpels, scissors, and tweezers in hand, the young biologists withstood the odor of formaldehyde to dissect preserved specimens. The odors of sulfur, peppermint, or banana oil floating from the chemis- try labs were not uncommon. Learning to use flasks, beakers, rubber hoses, and bunsen burners, the aproned chemists mixed elements and compounds while conducting experiments dealing with the com- position of matter and the nature of chemical change. The physics class emphasized the mathema- tical interpretation of measurements of such things as energy, sound, the laws of motion, and the wave theory. Those students taking the relatively new Earth Science course studied the earth horn a dif- ferent standpoint— one of exploration. Finding out how useful a slide rule can be, Linda Koopman works on the solution to a Chemistry equation.

Supplements Our All-Important English Sharon Dain cuts the Yule Log as Cindy Morgan, Sandy Dunn, and Kar- lis Steinmanis eye the delectable goody. This log was made by Nancy Kidd for her Advanced French Class from an old French recipe. Jim Hammond breaks the Spanish pinata as Donna Neal, Bob Sterrett, Leslie Ott, and Linda Beckman wait for the candies to fall. Thus the Spanish classes celebrated Christmas. Preparing to spin a record for Advanced Latin are Mr. Albert Steiner and Janice Bramlett. David Stace, ]eanine Kent, and Gary Keene look on with anticipation. 21

Potential Scientists Showing Walter Trammell the metacarpals of the skeleton is Miss Ethel Brown, a student teacher from Indiana State. Sue Roberts sprays plants in the greenhouse that was modern- ized by heating, ventilating, and watering improvements. Students in Earth Science classes took to the campus to find the dia- meter of the sun. Their instructor, Mr. Donald Hully, watches while three of his pupils — Bob Moore, |ohn Williams, and Larry Gardner — make calculations. •j:;
