Science classes take field trips Going on field trips instead of going to your classes is usually a lot of fun, and educa- tional too. The science classes took a num- ber of trips this year. They went out to the dunes at the National Lakeshore, twice down to Sullivan s Cave, and to the Planetarium in Chicago. Math students who qualified, went to the regional math contest held in Crown Point. The old math books were replaced this year for nearly all of the math classes, and the Comprehensive Senior Math course was re- placed by the College Algebra course. There was a change in teaching methods, also, with more recognition given to the needs of voc- ational tech students. 1. In beginning biology class sophomores Evanthia Bai- istatos and Meme Payovich study onion cells. 2. Becky Brooks sets the timer for Dave Strom as he prepares to take a psychology test. 3. Hobart s Little League park offers science students chances to study ecological succession of the area. 12 Math Science
