Exlras enrich curriculum ic push praciical skills Flora's well-rounded curriculum provides for a number of courses that contribute to personal growth of the individual student even though the courses do not fall under the rigid classification of the traditional three R's. Driver education students kept the wheels rolling as they learned the rules of the road and developed alert driving atti- tudes. With Mr. Tingley and Mr. Updike safely buckled up in the passenger seats, the students took command of the wheel and learned the fundamentals of maneuvering an auto- mobile. Passing out junior and Senior Class play programs and keeping the outside bulletin board posted with up-to-date FTHS events were meaningful experiences for the general studies class members. For a lesson in purchasing cars, Miss johns and her class toured Bill Wood's car lot. Healthy students and good sportsmanship were the goals of physical education classes. Mrs. Cherry and Mrs. Ripper- dan tried to make ballerinas of the girls in gymnastics, while Mr. Chornak and Mr. Stringer helped their boys build up their muscles with weight lifting and push ups.

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 . , .
