Futhering their know- ledge of science, Jack Vaughn and Bill Russell experi- ment in Chemistry, An increasing interest in science has brought additions to the faculty at George Washington High School. Twelve-hundred stu- dents compose the classes in chemistry, physics, biology, and physical science. Here, students study with facilities that surpass most high schools in Indiana. Not only does the depart- ment maintain a Well-equipped laboratory, but it also has a science library. This outstanding library contains many volumes to stimulate an interest for advancement in science. Through- out the past year, this department has been awarded many distinct honors. In the fall our school was represented by thirty-four students at the Indiana Junior Academy of Science. Craig Johnson was elected President of the Academy, and Pat Kira was named Co-Out- standing Girl Scientist for the year. Through the study of science, We strive to encourage the students of George Washington High School to broaden their horizons and realize the necessity of this fascinating subject.

Advanced Spanish students use modern methods to learn the art of speaking the language Huently. The expansion of the student body was niet in the Language Department with the addition of a new foreign language, French. The lang- uage curriculum now consists of classes in Lat- in, Spanish, and French. Although the main pur- pose is to acquaint the pupil with the grannner and speaking of the language, there are also outside events to which the pupil can contri- bute. Donating to the CARE FUND gives each pupil a chance to show his humanitarian side. The money is used to send CARE packages to either a Spanish, Italian, or French speaking country each year. In tune with the Christmas spirit, the Spanish classes sponsor a Christmas Party. Also pupils enrolled in Latin sponsor a Roman Banquet in the Spring. For those inter- ested in furthering their knowledge or beginning a vocation, language is necessary. Allthree lang- uages serve as stepping stones to the future. 1- 5 S XxsSFsiQ,xQwgv3cgQa:1 F X www 1 :xx y. be sv:-sw s X :ai lg , .

Greeks, and Romans all used symbols to repre- sent their numbers. As centuries have passed. new methods have come into existence which make it possible for us to better understand the use of figures. Math is a sound basis upon Which our culture is built. Students with a good background in mathematics realize how impor- tant it is in their lives. At Washington, ninth graders have the opportunity to take algebra or general mathematics. Some students then ad- vance to geometry, more advanced algebra. and in some cases solid geometry. During their sen- ior year, students who excel in math can fur- ther their knowledge and take college algebra, analytical geometry, trigononietry, or senior math. Math, just as everything else in this mod- ern World, is progressing rapidly. At Washing- ton the Mathematics Department is constantly taking steps to keep the students aware of the change in the World of mathematics. IT'S A WOMAN S WORLD!
