SCIENCE Edwards Br own Throughout the year Mr. Brovn's science students were beckoned to their studies with sputniks orbiting through space and missiles heading skyward. The seventh and eighth graders found general science especially appealing as they studied jets and rockets, astronomy, force, power, energy, machines, and climate. In biology the freshmen learned of the importance of the one celled animal as well as the cunplexity of the largest mammal. In chemistry juniors and seniors memorized ele- ments, velences and reactions hoping to see more deeply into the composition of materials. Experiments and projects will give science students many mcnents to remember. MATHEMATICS The math instructors for this year were Mrs. Dart, Mr. Davis, Mrs. Pothuisje, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Sharp. The seventh and eighth grade studied arithmetic while the freshmen learned algebraic factoring and equations. In geometry, the tenth grade studied theorems involving planes, and in college algebra, some juniors and seniors studied a more advanced form of math. They must have figured it out! 2 + 2 : I, Joyce Pothuisje K

Pothuisje, include grammar one semester and literature the other semester. In grammar, students progress from learning parts of speech in the seventh grade, tran- sitive and intransitive verbs as sophomores, and advanc d composition as seniors. During lit- erature classes, the seventh grade is contented with short stories while the sophomores read such classics as 'Silas Marner' and 'Julius Caesar', and the juniors study American literature. Sen- ior English is slightly different since it deals with the study of draws, public speaking, and study of English literature. SCCIAL STUDIES Regardless of sputnik's throwing the limelight on science, it is in social studies, the area of people and their getting along together, that the world's fate is sealed. B,,1des vorld history gn ggggraphy, Mrs, Dart and M . M Grath share the teaching of American history, government, and economics. The memories from these social studies classes will continue to make history as the moments progress. History in the making! Velma Dart 1.41-

The business department developes competency in marketable business skills to the point of employability. Along with the vocational training students may select certain courses of a general nature that will provide them with a proper social business, economic, and consumer education back- grou d. Business education is taught as an integral part of the total school program. M . Davis teaches the commercial courses. HOME ECONOMICS The EIG NEWS for the year in home economics is of course the acquisition of n w equipment and the redecoration of the clothing laboratory. The new fluorescent lighting, rosy beige cabinets, and bright curtains make Goodland students feel that they are in a new building. Additional equipment in the foods department has given Goodland a department to rival those in the newest of schools. New laundering equipment and additional cabinets have been added to the storage room. Pts. Hawley, the home economics teacher, has given the girls many home king tips which will bring them many moments to remember. , X of n... and just a pinch of arsenic.N J Alice Hawley A.. if' 'ji -'-.-+'lK'f Q fl
