KU Dan Eberly and Bruce Helmke test the apparatus used in their experiment. K2j Bob Birkhold, Jud Utley, Tim McAuliffe and Jeff Weller study the results of one of the many lab exercises undertaken in their science course. K3j Chemistry entailed many experiments for Laura Lamson. Here she watches the results of one of these. K4j No science course is complete without a micro- scope. Gayle Wandal and Randye Whitney watch the movements of their experiment. K5j Dan Threlkelcl looks into his microscope, trying to answer his lab questions. f61 Lab partners Kurt Bradley and Brad Shy prepare an experiment. Nj Cleaneup is also a part of science. Sue Eick and Dave lllanley finish this process after a successful lab period. K8j Frank Giammattei is dumb- struck by the results of his lab exercise. 125 ,e-vwugwht 45'

C12 Mr. Morgan explains how to solve an angle proof. 121 Algebra II is easy for Jo Marcotty who shares one of her homework problems with the class. 632 Students are given the opportunity to take an active part in daily classwork. 141 When there is a question in Diane Dustin's mind she can depend on Miss Herman for help. 152 Jeff Ducomb answers questions about his interpretation of a proof, f6j Mr. Kish gives some background information before plung- ing into more complicated work. 172 Math is not always easy thinks Gordon Carlson as he concentrates on copying his work accurately. C81 Sue Mack, Sari Quirk and class- mates have a break as Mr. Graham recollects one of his long lists of jokes. E can K Mr. Graham Miss Herman Mr, Kish MI. McDaid M1-.

Mr. Thumser Mr. VanDragt Mr. Wallendorf Mrs. Winton From Simple to Hard Describes SHS Math The math department at Seaholm ollers stu- dents a wide range of courses. Astudent can elect any course from Algebra I to several college level mathematics. Algebra I, a prerequisite course for all others, places emphasis on operations and solving equa- tions. Geometry is the study of two and three dimensional figures and includes solving proofs. Physical geometry deals with the same area but does not touch proofs. 147

Advanced courses are offered in each area. Biology is the study of living things. Stu- dents study the anatomy of plants and animals, and have the opportunity to dissect live speci- mens throughout the course. Chemistry intro- duces new laboratory techniques and the sci- entific methodf' The students learn to predict reactions, and lab techniques teach the stu- dents to use intricate equipment. Atomic and nuclear physics are studies in the Physics class. Light, sound, heat and electricity are also covered with special emphasis on relationship and relativity. A general course in physical science rounds out the science department so that it usually draws the interest of every Sea- holm student. 149
