auth and Science Arc Rcwardin Two of the most rewarding areas of study, math- ematics and science are rapidly increasing their scope Breakthroughs in these fields often create entirely new careers. Mathematicians at the high school level study algebra, geometry, and mathematical analysis. All these courses were offered using the new math tech- nique. In new math, reasoning without proof is never accepted. Teaching Algebra I and II as well as plane geometry was Mr. Agnew. Mrs. Neuzil handled the math analysis class. Science courses were taught by Mr. Logan and Mr. Blezek. Mr. Logan instructed biology, chemistry, physics, and qualitative analysis while Mr. Blezek taught general science. All science courses were sup- plemented wirh demonstrations and experiments thus giving the subject tangibility. Both mathematics and science face great futures with tremendous opportunities for dedicated students with curious minds. Mrs. Neuzil instructedjuniorhigh mathematics and ad- vanced math for seniors. Mike Schofield works on an experiment in qualitative analysis, a lab course. Mr. Agnew taught three high school math courses in his first year at Hamburg. Mr. Logan taught biology, chemistry, physics, and qualitative analysis.
