Problems Create Math and Science Interest Miss Margaret Coebel and Mr. Ben Parke team-teach the Basic Math class. Here they give Anna Rusie and Dana Hawkins addi- tional help with their homework assignments. Math and Science are permanently interwoven, as mathematical and scientific principles apply in both areas and are necessary to each other. Math courses begin with General Math or Al- gebra the freshman year, and continue through Geometry, advanced Algebra, Analytical Geomet- ry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. Biology is required of all students their sopho- more year. This class starts with the study of simple organisms and invert e brat es and progresses through vertebrates. Students dissect earthworms, fish, frogs, and fetal pigs to get a first-hand look at what they ' re learning. Sex education is includ- ed during the study of man. Various courses in math provide a good founda- tion for Chemistry and Physics courses. Chemistry students, laden with slide rules, goggles, and test tubes, study atoms, molecules, and the composition and uses of the various elements. Science majors go on into Physics, whether the traditional course or Harvard Project, which fol- lows the progress of scientific thought. -iodel Sophomores Steve McCurry and Herb Clark dissect a frog in their Biology class, aided by a mc and photos of how the organs should appear. Dissecting gives students a chance to see how things are arranged, and to trace the circulatory and respiratory systems and study their functions. K
