Seniors Wayne Lewis and Horst Richter check out their Physics ex- periment of graphing force fields using negative and positive charged probes. The information collected is used to validate definitions of electri- cal terms such as voltage and watts. Junior Keith Millay is finding the Gas Law constant by driving off an unknown gas from a liquid for a Chemistry Laboratory. Senior Ron Nye displays a figure he made to prove the basic Geometry theorem, in Mr. Fred Alhemeyer ' s Geometry 1 class. 21

Science, Math Help Develop Logical Minds Mr. David Otto and Junior Richard Kriese operate the environ- mental chamber in the Science Department. The chamber is used as a plant incubator for Biological experiments. Math and Science complement each other, as some of the principals of each are utilized in their re- spective areas of teaching. The Math Department offers a wide variety of courses to all Manualites. The basics of mathematics are taught in General Math, Algebra 1 and 2, and Geometry 1 and 2 — open to freshmen and sopho- mores. A mathematics major may further his stu- dies in Algebra 3 and 4, Solid Geometry, Trigonome- try, and Analytic Geometry, the union of Algebra and Geometry — open to juniors and seniors. Cal- culus is a one-semester course for math majors who plan to continue in the field of mathematics when they go on to college. Studies in the Science Department include plants and animals, the elements, and the earth. All sopho- mores take Biology 1 and 2, where they study prim- itive man, animals, and insects, as well as present day mammals, insects, and botany, plus physiology. As juniors, Redskins have the choice of Chemistry, a study of the elements, their composition, and uses, or Earth Science, which deals with the soil, conserva- tion, and the atmosphere. A science major continues into Physics, the study of energy with emphasis on mathematical interpretation. In the new Earth Science laboratory. Seniors Doug McCrady and Dan Bowers probe into the tiny world of the unknown. The Earth Science Laboratory is new to Manual this year; it was constructed during the fall semester. 20

Pupils Trace Man ' s Progress in Social Studies Manual ' s Social Studies Department covers the globe in a study of man and his achievements in governmental systems and economic problems. Citizenship, which helps pupils understand their rights and responsibilities as Americans, and World History, which begins with primitive man and fol- lows his history up to I he present, are offered for freshmen. Anthropology, also available to freshmen, introduces students to the concepts of changing cultures and developments, and directs them to thinking scientifically about society. All juniors take United States History, a require- ment for graduation. Histlish, a special two-period, two-semester class for selected juniors combines United States History and English 5 and 6. Completing three years of Social Studies, Econ- omics and Government are required courses. Govern- ment helps prepare seniors to assume their re- sponsibilities as adult citizens by giving them know- ledge of the structure of our governmental system and of the election of public officials. International Relations and Psychology are elec- tives for juniors and seniors. Psychology helps the individual to better understand human behavior. International Relations involves the operation of commerce with other nations and problems concern- ing our relationship with neighboring countries. The bones of early man are studied by the freshmen taking Anthropology. Here Blake Housam, Jill Ferris, llze Berzins, and Mark Ellis examine some specimens closely. Dr. Ffern Stukenbroeker, from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, lec- tures to Mr. Roland Hawkins ' senior Government class about communism and under-cover spy rings. Dr. Stuk- enbroeker also spoke to all Manual- ites earlier during a 3A-3B Auditori- um. He gave many examples of how commies have been caught smug- gling micro film out of the country. ' ' •
