Science and Mathematics Testing the efficiency of a pulley system in the Laws of Work experiment they have set up are Physics pupils Ron Davis, Ruth Ellen Oakes, Guy Richardson, and John Ruark. Don Switzer and Sue Fouts, during the study of Chemistry Gas Laws, conduct a demonstration for their class concerning the effects of temperature and pressure on a volume of gas. Mr. Ray Schultz assists Keith Mar- tin, Pam Courtney, and Richard Hes- tant during a laboratory session, as they record the changes in the nor- mal heartbeat of a frog caused by differences in temperature. The ex- posed heart is electrically connected to a kymograph apparatus, making the changes visually apparent. 20

Pupils Study Speech, Culture of Foreign Lands Manual ' s Language Department offers four years of Spanish, French, and Latin. Pupils are given a basic background as they become acquainted with the grammar and literature of the language. Use of the Language Lab allows the student to hear his language spoken by a native, thus aiding greatly his proper pronunciation and inflection. Each year any foreign language student, having acquired the junior level in his language, has the opportunity to take an exam for the Indiana Uni- versity Honors Program, which means foreign stu- dy. The winning Spanish students go to Mexico for the summer; the winning Latin students study in Italy and the winning French students live in France. This year eleven of Manual ' s language scho- lars took the preliminary qualifying exams. Miss Maria Muruais of Puenteneuvo, Lugo, Spain, from the National Educational Exchange Program, visited Manual this year for three weeks. Advanced French students dined in a French restaurant for a taste of France and found it ties bonne. Mr. David Phillips, French teacher, instructs juniors Debbie Wooden and Carol Hill for IU Honors Program competition. Mr. Albert Sreiner discusses the review techniques with a Latin I class in preparation for final exams. Assisted by Rebecca Rogers, Wayne Henke, and John Rainbolt, Miss Ann Manning explains the tradition of the Spanish pinata. 19

Combine to Explore Challenging Realms With pencils, paper, and determination in hand, Manual pupils in the Mathamatics and Science De- partments delve into the world of figures, chemi- cals, and universal laws. Beginning courses, such as Algebra and Geometry, prepare students for later studies. Here, they are introduced to basic rules for factoring, solving equations and square root prob- lems, and are familiarized with theorems and geo- metric figures. Math majors continue their studies in Solid Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. These courses expand the principles learned earlier to increase the use of math functions. Biologists tackle the living world from the prima- tive one-celled micro-organism to the complex struc- ture of man. The disection of worms, fish, frogs, and fetal pigs shows pupils the development of high- er forms of animal life. In Chemistry, the composi- tion of matter is explored through many experi- ments concerning acids and bases, chemical reac- tions and atomic structures. Physics pupils learn by examining the nature of energy forms in motion, heat, electricity, and light. Two general courses, Earth Science and Physical Science, combine the basic principles of all three areas of study. Mrs. Carolyn Sharp, Geometry instructor, introduces a new and complicated theorem to her pupils. This class, just as others in the Math Department, stresses logic and reasoning. These three Algebra pupils compete against each other in a problem race. Much time is spent calculating in this manner to help the student increase skills and accuracy in math. Senior Joan Sterrert takes her turn at the board explaining a Trigonometry problem to her classmates. As a college prep course, it broadens the knowledge of useful math functions. 21
