Income Tax Course Proves Invaluable Offered only to those seniors taking history and those wishing to take it during a study hall, a four week course explaining the proper procedure of completing income tax forms gave students the opportunity to get acquainted with and actually complete various tax forms. Obtaining all informa- tion from the federal government, each student was given a hand- book to refer to when a prob- lem arose. By the end of the fourth week each student completed a state, short, and even a long tax form. This course was especially helpful to those with part-time jobs who needed the knowledge of completing the different forms. Next year taxation will be offered as a mini-course. Although it will not be mandatory, the social studies department strongly suggests that students take advantage of this course. Discussing the evaluation of man are World Cultures in instructor Fred Vespa and student Jay Mader. 24

New Materials Enable Greater Exploration With the hope of enabling stu- dents to explore and experiment in greater depth, new lab materials were purchased for the physics and microbiology courses. Avail- able to microbugs this year were six new microscopes with oil im- mersion lens, a microprojector, and a water bath for testing water samples to determine the presence of pollutants. Physics students, aided by new battery operated timers, were able to examine data results and compare the change in acceleration of a car attached to a pulley when varying forces acted upon it. Also, calculators made any necessary computation quite easy and time saving. In physiology class Frank Kozar. FH athletic di- rector and biology teacher, discusses the struc- ture of the human jaw.
