New science equipment helps students A unit credit in biology is re¬ quired of all students before grad¬ uation. Of course if one were plan¬ ning to further his education by at¬ tending college or if he simply had an inquisitive mind, he could con¬ tinue in more advanced science courses. The science department strengthened its curriculum through the addition of new ideas. Such ideas were those in which Chemistry II and advanced physics classes received new electronic balances and pH meters. Chemis¬ try I classes were equally strengthened by receiving new text books on an experimental basis. Field trips were another source of study adopted by the physics classes and Mrs. Cathey’s Biology II classes. These new adjustments helped students to find learning more meaningful. ‘‘Boy, this class is really behind!” Mrs. Mary Cathey Mr. R. E.

Mathematics: a study of relations Mathematics is most familiar to us as the study of numbers. We use numbers every day of our lives, in counting, measuring, and comput¬ ing. But there is much more to mathematics than that. It is the study of relations, or proportions — ho A different things compare with one another. Every natural science has a mathematical side, which tries to discover general “Laws”, with which we can discover new facts, predict fdture events, and make useful inventions. It is the purpose of the Mathe¬ matics Department of Garinger to provide the opportunity for each student to further develop his mathematical abilities to the point that he can be a knowledgeable and effective citizen. The department strives to pro¬ vide a mathematics program which will further the education of all students regardless of background or future plans. Each student is di¬ rected into either a college pre¬ paratory program or a terminal mathematics program depending upon his abilities and needs. Miss Watts, a real “groovey” teacher. 24
