HAROLD NORDSTROM Mathematics DONALD PENNINGS Science At FLHS at All-Time High teacher. Other new faces in the Science Department are Mr. Lewis M. Schroeder, who taught junior high science and Mr. Merlyn Erickson physics instructor. As in past years, math has continued to maintain a ma- jor part in the curriculum at FLHS. Because of close kinship between math and science several faculty members teach both math and some branch of the sciences. Seventh and eighth grade students have a general math requirement, but as one enters the ninth grade, he has a choice between algebra and general math. Those students in the tenth through twelfth grades have an elective course in plane geometry. Higher algebra is offered to juniors and seniors, while solid geometry and trigonometry are offered to seniors exclusively. A course in advanced consumer math is also offered to students in grades eleven and twelve. A CONSISTENTLY POPULAR PROJECT UNDERTAKEN BY BIOLOGY STUDENTS EACH YEAR IS BLOOD TESTING - Marjorie Wollan.

MERLYN ERICKSON Physics Mathematics ARNOLD SCOFIELD ROBERT ROSE Mathematics Mathematics Driver Education Science, Math Emphasis With the past year full of numerous world accomplish- ments, much emphasis is continuously being placed on the need for a complete science education in high schools. For this reason, one of the biggest changes this year at FLHS is the change in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade gen- eral science courses. In past years, much of the same ma- terial was covered all through the three years, allowing no variation in material. Each course is still called a gen- eral science class, but each year the course is devoted to one particular area. Biology, chemistry, and physical sci- ence are the subjects covered in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades, respectively, giving the student a well rounded education. There was only one new addition to the chemistry lab this year. That is Miss Rosemary Eklund, the new chemistry OF CONSTANT INTEREST ARE THE MANY DISPLAYS IN MR.
