Reasoning Calculations, Formulas, Constitute Learning Memorizing formulas, performing experiments, and calculating density were just a few of the challenging tasks approached by Marshall's math and science students. These experiments proved to be useful to students after their high school years. ln addition to the challenges and use- fulness the science and math depart- ments offered, they also experienced several changes this year. Mr. Les Bisbee retired from Marshall at Christmas, after teaching science classes at the school since it first opened in 1960. Bisbee was much ap- preciated by his students, according to Freshman Teri Grant. Mr. Bisbee was always ready to help us anytime we had problems, she commented. Another science instructor, Mr. John Hughes, returned second quarter after an early fall absence. His class load changed considerably from his normal schedule of biology classes. Mr. Hughes is a good teacher and l'm really glad he's back, commented Ju- nior Shelley Regimbal. ln the math department, innovative ideas were expressed by the computer math classes. They were required to come up with an advanced computer program. This project included all of the knowledge accumulated during the year. Don Wyler, for instance, pro- grammed a craps game, Sean Loth a dog race, and Greg Worden a roulet game. fr NEW INSTRUCTOR Pat McCormick explains the day's assignment to his General Math students.
