To Solve Problem More student involvement was combined with the use of more mechanical devices such as over- head projectors and opaque projectors to stimulate the math minded students this year. Student involvement was evident this year in all the math classes. Students went to the board to explain the more difficult problems to their fellow students, and sometimes teacher. Geometric proofs, quadratic equations, hyperbolas, asymp- toes, trigonometric identities and -11800 were all explained by thought provoked students. Formulas, figures, graphs and equations to the n-th degree kept math student's minds busy. Sheets of scratch paper crammed with problems rapidly covered the desk and wastebaskets of many a student. But the challenge of finding the solution kept him working and after racking his brains he found that the solution was quite simple once he made one revision-2+3:5, not 6.

For The First Time observation and classification of facts. lt is a human study, an intellectual activitywhose products include facts, concepts, theories, and principles. These prod- ucts change as new facts are discovered. New equipment and new books have recently been pur- chased by the science department in order to keep up-to-date with the latest scientiric discoveries. The science department teaches students to develop the ability to seek new relationships and ideas from known facts and concepts. Youths taking science courses obtain a background of ordered knowledge, develop an adequate vocabulary in science for effec- tive communication, and develop understandings con- cerning the dependence of our society upon scientific and technological achievements and that science is a basic part of modern living. Biology, chemistry, physical science, physics, biology seminar, and advanced chemistry are the science courses offered at Goodrich. This is the first year that advanced chemistry has been offered. This course, taught by Mr. Treleven, is designed for the advanced science student. The objective of advanced chemistry is to extend the understanding of chemical principles and investigate the methods used to deter- mine properties of substances. IN MEMGRIAM J oe Capicik The student body and faculty of Goodrich were saddened by the death of Mr. Joseph Capicik. For 23 years Mr. Capicik was a respected science teacher and coach at Goodrich. He was always devoted in his work, whether it was in helping a student or coaching on the football field. During his 18 years as head football coach, Mr. Capicik's objective was always to win, and his teams were some of the best in Fond du Lac's history. A dedicated educator, Mr. Capicik was an inspiration to youth, and his loss is felt by all who knew him. 57
