Into the Sciences Through biology, chemistry, and physics, the science department hopes to create a deeper understanding of the student's environment. The department is aided by such new facilities as triple-sliding blackboards and an aquarium. Biology, taught by Mr.Lance Bedwell, is a freshman requirement, while chemistry and physics, taught by Mr. Ernest Clayton, are junior and senior electives. With models of flowers, roots, and skeletons, biology students see first-hand some of the parts of the handicraft of nature. By dissecting fish, earthworms, and frogs, a better knowledge of anatomical systems is possible. As well as laboratory preparation, anatomy and physiology of plants, animals, and humans are also stud ied. Operating a slide rule and finding the atomic number of an element are two of the challenges faced by chemistry students. A supply of chemicals and more storage space lias made conducting more complex experiments possible. Physics students have also taken advantage of new equipment while studying the theories and discoveries of Archimedes, Democritus, and Thales. Mechanics, electricity, and atomic structure are other topics covered to gain insight into the physical aspects of science.

Students to Excel in Many Participation in dialogues helps Miss Sharon Hart's Spanish Classes to understand the language. The students not only learn how to speak Spanish but also about the customs of the Spanish speaking countries. The Latin classes, taught by Mrs. Nancy Wagner, learn the language of ancient Rome through studying conjugations of verbs, vocabulary, and translating stories. Latin helps the students understand the basic concepts of the English language and the derivations of much of our vocabulary. Themes, book reports, and term papers are the main topics in the English classes. Through writing, students gain knowledge about the library and about the use of it. However, before writing they study the parts of speech, sentence structure, and vocabulary. Second semester, the English students study literature, which includes short stories, novels, essays, and poems. Speech class students master the fundamentals of speaking with the aid of their teacher, Mrs. Geneva Wickens. At the beginning of the year the class studies the purposes of speeches and gives both prepared and impromptu talks. Later in the course the class has debates and learns to read for purposes such as, entertaining and informing. They also study the elementary principles of dramatics and participate in choral readings. Phases of Foreign Cultures FIVE HUNDRED WORDS to go, sighs junior Paul Collins, as he labors to complete his research paper in time to meet the deadline. WHAT'S THE PASSWORD? Mrs. Wickens'speech students, Linda Hermon, Frank Corya, David Herron, Mary Mullikin, Connie Clark, and JoAnn Boggs discover that games such as this help them improve their vocabulary.
