Science Leaps the Changing World of Today l l Beth Waltz records procedure as Glen Koehring and Mike Allender perform a complicated physic experi- ment. Ithink we need a little more acid, suggests Julie Thorson as Emerson McFarland and Tom Padrick begin a Bromine experiment in chemistry. As men are probing deeper into outer space, the need for scientists is increas- ing. The students at Franklin Central rea- lize this need and specialize in the four sci- ence courses offered. In biology and physical science We learn about allforms of plant and animal life for the purpose of better understanding of how plants and animals live, reproduce, and grow. Chemistry deals with the elements and compounds that make up the substances that are around us . Physics is the study of the forces that keep the world going. Re- gardless of the type of field entered, it is sure to be an asset to the science field. He's still very friendly, exclaims Sharon Souther- land as Larry Edwards identifies the different bones of the body for the biology class.

We at Franklin Central believe that ed- ucation is the right of every individual . We feel that the subject matter taught should be directly related to the individual 'S needs in meeting the challenges of life. The se- lection of this subject matter is the most important decision the student will make and requires much care and forethought. No matter the type of course desired, the facilities of Franklin Central will aid the student in his attempt to reach the final goal . ACADEMICS

Math Aids in Exploration of the Universe The confusion of theorems, equations , and diagrams soon unraveled into a feeling of satisfaction and learning as the year progressed. Students learn how to handle equations in freshman algebra and further investigate them in advanced algebra. Lines, circles, polygons, locus, and area are dealt with in plane geometry, and the algebraic proofs of these geometry prob- lems are of main concern in analytical geometry. Trigonometry is the solution of right and oblique triangles . But no mat- ter the type of math taken, the students will learn through the able teachings of Mrs. Schowe, Mr. Eastes, and Mr. Leffler. The analytic geometry class listens attentively as Geometry students find this class means hard work as they listen to Mr. Eastes explains Theorm 6. The problem is Zxfcx-+ fl, states Mrs. Showe as she clarifies a problem for one of her students in algebra. Mr. Eastes explains the formula II+I2 A ? TV af .1- 2 . ,,. X .
