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

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

Original Ideas, Skill Develop in Art, Music Macreme, jeweled rings, rug- hooking, pottery, and self-portraits occupied students in Art. In Art, abstracts and sketches were done with water color, oil, acrylics, chalk, and pencils. Curved mirrors, cut pictures, and live models aided in creating pictures, some of which won awards in different contests. Craft Arts was a popular elective course. A ceramic and enamel kiln, and a potter ' s wheel were available for pottery. Students also enjoyed copper enameling, sculpturing, and paper mache. Art Appreciation covered the characteristics of art periods, history of artists, styles and modes in art,- and modern art through colored slides and lectures. Many musical Manualities were often heard in the halls singing, whistling or humming songs after their vocal and instrumental music classes were finished. Hundreds of students were en- rolled in one of more of these cour- ses which provided enjoyment and developed musical talents. The Keyboard class utilized the new theater pipe organ, purchas- ed from the Crescent Hill Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky last October. The class also offered pi- ano lessons. Histories of composers and de- velopment of music styles interest- ed students in Music Appreciation, also new this year. Separate classes for beginning brasswinds and woodwinds were al- so in the new music curriculum. Sightsinging is one of the most difficult techniques in Music The- ory, said Junior Tom Pinner. His class learned basic chord fundamen- tals which made composing music easier later on. Our Redskin marching Band, un- der the direction of Drum Major Jay Doty, won its nineteenth con- secutive First Division in the IHSMA Band Contest in October. ¥l TOP — Mrs. Corrie Wilson, Manual art tea- cher, demonstrates pottery techniques to the Art Club members at a meeting.
