Hl 4 Math and Science Students © Cue Vn ae | Working with Bromine, Mr. Temple shows the class the chemical properties. Geometric figures, factorials, logarithms, and trigonometry introduced students to the world of algebra, geometry, and modern in- troductory analysis. New to the math depart- ment was Mr. Clifford. Slide rules, titrations, carbon chains, chemicals, and lab experiments all meant chemistry to the students under Mr. Temple’s instruction. Plant identification, dissection, bacteria, and blood types were called to the attention of the biology students.

Giving students an opportunity for crea- tivity, art classes experimented with mac- rame, oils, metals, pottery, sculpture, con- structions, water color, and enameling. The finished articles were displayed in the class- room or showcase. Students participated in the Regional Scholastic Art Awards Program.
