PHYSICS experiments require carejul attention to detail. MICROSCOPES are in constant use in advanced biology class. ' Tta trou Eyes peep into microscopes for a view into an infinitesimal world; scissors snip cold frogskin and hesitant fingers probe into the realm of anatomy. STRONG ODORS in the chemistry lab denote successful but suffocating results. .. . delighted smiles appear when experiments succeed Down the hall beakers bubble; shaky hands pour fuming acid into test tubes; delighted smiles appear on faces when experiments are successful. Unusual phenomena become understood facts as laws of the physical world are unfolded and explained in physics. Over the years science has become one of our most popular departments, arousing the unquenchable curiosity of tomorrow’s scientists.

As traditional as the old buildings are the high academic standards and the basic content of the (1 IIS English Curriculum. Senior stniggles over Chaucer’s “Prologue” and term papers, junior agonies over original short stories, sophomore exploration of the worlds of Julius Caesar’s Rome and George Eliot’s Raveloe, plus tough drill with rules of grammar — these have long been fundamental parts of rich courses. Hand in hand with custom go innovations, however; for this year ours was one of five school systems in the United States to offer an NEA-sponsored composition laboratory for interested students. Comprehensive and varied, our history program offered courses embracing Cheops and Mao Tze Tung, Isabella and Kennedy, and utilizing current periodicals, guest speakers, television instruction. FORMER GHS teacher Fredrickson now teaches state¬ wide television history course. our history program .. . is comprehensive and varied .. AN ESSAY seems more interesting if discussed in small groups.

. . . the importance of accuracy, neatness, and perseverance GEOMETRY students accept the challenge of graphic demonstration I mgical minds become adept at complex proofs; algebra students derive the quadratic formula and graph equations; in trig seniors and accelerated juniors discover a new concept of triangles. From math classes all over school comes the quiet rustle of people hard at work or voices of students at the board explaining problems. On Thursdays the common wail of math test victims, who don’t really think they failed, tills the air. Keeping pace with the modern world, math courses continue to instill in students the importance of accuracy, neatness, and perseverance. Page 19 EXAMINING an actual cone answers many mental questions.
