Teaches: Earth es: Wrestling' Knowledge Of The Physical World Stresse Mr. DeWald's Physics II class worked up demonstrations and lectures illustrating different fields in elementary physics. The talks were on sound, color and light, magnetism, electricity and magnetism, gravitation, the gas laws, and static electricity. These lectures were presented throughout the second semester at a sixth grade level at the Boyd, Blawnox, Fairview, and Aspin- wall Grade Schools. Physical Science class discovers the Law of Gravity. - 3 - - l Mi 24 The old General Science course, a requirement for freshmen, was replaced by a new course called Earth and Space Science. It was felt that instead of introducing the student to a course of samplings from Chemistry, Physics, etc., it would be of greater value if a course were taught emphasizing the earth on which he lives. The main objective of this course is attempting to show the student his relationship, and man's relationship in general, to his earth. Units in this course include oceanography, a study of the oceans and their compositiong meteorology, a unit interested in the theory behind weather forecastsg and paleontology, where the evolution of animals is studied through fossils. Students learn to read topographical maps, distinguishing the surface features of the earth. A very important unit on Astronomy is taught stressing the earth's relationship to the other planets and the universe. MISS BEULAH FREY MR, DAVID GEIS B.S. Thiel College. Teaches: Biol- B.S.

Mathematics Teaches The mathematics department offers a complete academic program which enables a student to begin algebra in eighth grade and complete a course in calculus before graduating from high school. The first course, Algebra l, introduces the ideas of vari- ables and equations. Students learn to solve equations and perform other operations with algebraic numbers. Geom- etry studies the properties of lines and points, by themselves and in combinations. Theorems concerning triangles and' other forms are derived and applied. Algebra ll, a contin- uation from Algebra l, emphasizes the solutions of more complex equations. A section on how to use the slide-rule is also included. Trigonometry takes material from all of these courses and applies it to the study of triangles and trigonometric functions. The calculus course emphasizes de- rivatices and integrals, and their practical applications. Theoretical proofs are introduced but not emphasized. For most students it is intended as a course that will help them in a calculus course in college. A fha
