Members studied the offerings of the school as they now stand. Besides health services and gainful employment, the three home ec teachers offered a course called bachelor living, child care, and the conventional home economic classes. Business students learned accounting, marketing, and sec- retarial skills that advanced students put to practical use with on-the-job experience. Electronic and electricity students learned to build and re- pair radios and electric motors. Drafting students built model homes they had designed, and cabinet makers made stereo cabinets and picnic tables. Ag students studied basic farming procedure and shop skills for repairs and safety. 17

SOUND VIBRA TIONS, bu! not lhe kind to gromfe on, keep physics .vtudents Barry Bright and Sam Paul busy lfying to jqnd the frequemjf of the tuning fork. Formula wizards bone up on rules of ieohnioal daia Mathematics is the key to science, and both mathematics and science are keys to college for FTHS students. For those freshmen who found equations and sets to be a bugaboo, Mr. Tingley offered a new two-year course in Alge- bra I which was originally taught in one year. Learning from newly purchased books, Mr. Conleyls plane geometry pupils struggled with proofs, theorems, and deduc- tive reasoning problems. Algebra II and senior math students kept pace with Mrs. Spitzner while learning to cope with logic, trigonometry, and calculus. Science offerings included earth science, biology, chemis- try, and physics. Getting their feet wet both literally and figu- ratively, Mr.'Fry's Biology I and ll classes went to the source of the ecology problem as they cleaned up Flora's reservoir. Chemistry and physics students, under the authority of Mr. Mattis, stirred up ill-smelling concoctions and learned more about the laws of nature. KNEE BONE CONNECTED TO THE HIP BONE . , .
