Science Geared to Career Fields Mike Wilson and Tom Lanham are busy with an experiment in advanced biology. Biology students completed projects and conducted experiments on various subjects. One project that every student was required to do was dissecting twelve dif¬ ferent organisms. Insect collecting, the typing of blood, and using the microscopes to study tiny micro-or¬ ganisms were other activities done in class. Advanced biology, which is a more detailed and higher level of general biology was added to the selection of science courses for students completing Biology I. Physic’s classes worked in such areas as ionization, electrochemistry, atomic and molecular structures, and chemical kenetics. But the highlight of the year was a field trip which the class took to Butler University to see the Observatory. Joe, Gary, Chris, and Brian have a good time in the Physics laboratory y 1 11

Math classes are taught in various areas according to the fields of interest. Business Math deals with mathe¬ matics of everyday living. Geometry teaches both practical and college preparatory work. Trigonometry and Solid Geometry are mostly college preparatory. The Trig class mathematically constructed a triangle and to further test their mathematical skills developed it again on the school grounds with use of a surveying instru¬ ment to see if their calculations were correct. Math Classes Are Important to Our Students Mr. Nation explains a difficult problem to Jim Handley. Mr. McNeely explains how to solve an equation to his Algebra I students. s- 10

Miss Settle’s junior English class works hard to achieve per¬ fection. They are given a certain amount of study time in which they are to prepare their work and ask any questions. They study sentence structure and are given weekly spelling words. Spelling words are given to build their vocabulary and to help lead to better understanding and better thinking. Mrs. Kuehn is discussing a Shakespearean play with her English Literature class. The class is assigned stories to read silently and then they discuss them aloud. The discussions give the students a better insight into the British culture. 12 mm
