Modern Times Keep Science, Math ABOVE — Geri DeHoff assists Department Head Ronald Parke in one of his classes. Because of large class size, students were used to aide teachers in grading papers and helping in classes. TOP — Britt Dickinson works an equation in his math class. All students are required to take one year of a math course. The Math and Science Depart- ments have always been linked be- cause both are really sciences. Math is really the science of numbers. These numbers, their functions, and formulas were studied in the var- ious classes offered by the Math Department. Even though only one year of math is required for graduation, many students continue their study with geometry, algebra, trigono- metry and calculus. This year, teacher losses and class cancellations hurt the Math Depart- ment. The number of students en- rolled in classes remained the same, but teachers were cut. The result was crowded classes and individuals receiving less attention. Student as- sistants were employed to help tea- chers with the grading of tests and homework papers. Energy, chemicals, micoroscopic cells, and atoms were discovered by many Manualities through the Science Department. Students gained scientific know- 28 Math

The board is a collage featur- ing Spanish words with pictures and con- struction paper and kleenes figures. TOP LEFT — Mr. Carsey Gentry, Head of the Foreign Language Department, greets one of his Spanish classes with an Hola.

LEFT — Daryl Wilson and Richard Warren, Biology lab partners, work on an experi- ment using supplementary books. CENTER — Senior Larry Brown uses a cali- brated scale to weigh materials for his phy- sics class. All measurements must be accurate. BELOW — Marshall Wingler and Joe Walsh measure chemicals for a titration experiment in their Chemistry class. Relevant Studies ledge from teacher lectures, film- strips, and experiments, along with their textbooks. Since science courses were dou- ble period, students had a chance to work in labs. The experiments provided a way for students to find our for themselves the structure of an animal, or the reaction of chemi- cals. Math and Science again collabra- ted with Physics, a class combin- ing both sciences. The course was taught by Mr. Stephen Sharpee. « UX2SlSmM3WX3ZWJIIX5. fc « M Science 29
