Mr. Rex Lewis demonstrates the movement of molecules in the study of gas laws for his chemistry class with a chamber rigged to a vacuum sweeper. Students involved are Cwen Bowers, Ed Burgin, and LaDora Baird. Biologists Sherry Huston and Shirley Freeman check a bacteria culture-dish under the supervision of Mr. Fred Jones. Spec- imens were obtained from various parts of the building. Senior John Newman and Junior Vera King watch Mr. Otto Kuehr- mann perform on his magic violin which he always employed when teaching about sound waves in Physical Science class. Lab Assistants Steve Hendricks and Dale Petrie make up models of molecules from plastic and styrofoam for use in chemistry.

Math, Science Stretch Inquisitive Minds Mr. Harold Baumer works out an equation in Algebra II On the chalkboard for two students, Barbara Dawson and Rod Bruce. Equations and problems stumped the students in both Math and Science courses. Freshmen started with General Math or Algebra 1, and Geometry per- plexed the sophomores with its numerous theorems and corollaries. Algebra 3 and 4, Trigonometry, and Analytical Geometry intrigued juniors and seniors. Biology, which is required of all students, was taken by the sophomores. Biologists tackled life from the world of micro-organisms to the struc- ture of man. Contradictory to what the girls thought, they lived through the frog dissection. A choice of Earth Science and Science is offered for (hose who are not as competent in Math. Earth Science deals with rocks, soil, conservation, and the atmosphere. A double period course, Earth Science provides students with a broad practical knowledge of their environment. Science is a course in which subject matter is drawn from the physical sciences. It deals with atomic and molecular structure, chem- ical reactions, and electricity. Slide rules were extremely helpful in Chemistry to solve problems involving weight, mass, and vol- ume. Working with chemicals in the lab was a favorite of the chemists. No one was allowed in the lab area without goggles and, preferably, with a long apron. Physics classes studied the nature of energy in motion, heat, light, and electricity. Seniors Fred Brown and Steve Murray assist their physics teacher, Mr. Step- hen Sharpee, with a cross bow they are about to shoot to calculate the acceleration of gravity ■ — a graphic lesson for out-of-doors study. 26

Girls Develop Knack For ' Home ' Skills Manual girls find classes in Home Economics promising l r the Euture. Many students, not on the academic track, are interested in home and do- mestic training. Others take these classes as elec- tives to add variety and cultivate useful skills. In Clothing, girls develop a knack for sewing. These seamstresses learn to follow pattern direc- tions and to use sewing machines well. Delightful aromas lill the hall on second floor as Foods classes I unction. Students are taught to measure accurately and follow recipes carefully. Advanced Foods classes practice what they learn by serving banquets to guests. Girls plan, pre- pare, and serve a meal after sending bids to teach- ers who are available at the right time. Social Practice classes train girls to use proper eticpiette: Family Living and Home Management ready them for future home situations. Senior girls learn to cue lor the sick through book study and practical application in Home Nursing. Sewing a fine seam is Bette Lasley as she stitches a garment she is making as a project for Clothing. Girls not only use the latest model machines but also learn to care for them. Home Economics displays at the Projects Fair at the close of school attract wide attention. Judy Roberts and Nita Horn check identifying tags to find their friends ' entries. Serving a luncheon table is Peggy Fikes, a student in Mrs. Blanche Ruston ' s Advanced Foods class. Vice-principal E. Frank- lin Fisher is a fuest at this real practice party. L ' S
