Learning the anatomy of a frog by dissecting and memorizing mathematical formulas require many hours of frustrating study. However, as the days wear away and the mysteries of science and math become clearer, the students find their new knowledge rewarding. Working in modern laboratories and class- rooms, Kelvyn Park freshmen begin their scientific studies with general science. Eventually they have the opportunity to elect courses in biology, physics, and chemistry. This year's Science Fair brought many favor- able comments to the hard-working and justly rewarded students. Classes in all levels of math are available for students with various abilities. Beginning with essential courses, the curriculum continues with courses in reg- ular and honors algebra and geometry. For the students with special interests in the field, courses in trigonom- etry are also offered. Several students who received high math scores in this year's ACT tests credit their achievements to their excellent math classes. HOLDING HANDS with Bone-a-part, Candy Olsen and Kathy Thomson discuss the effects of a poor diet in biology class. SLIDE RULES can be difficult to understand, but after careful study, Sharon Bourdon and Barbara Kozinska have this one mastered

USING A DRILL PRESS, Terry Maryniw puts the finishing touches on salt and pepper shakers made in industrial arts. ' Practical arts and business Preparing to meet the problems of the home and busi- ness world, students enrolled in industrial arts, home economics, and business courses. In these classes busy hands and minds worked at learning skills and methods that would help them find jobs easily and also assume home duties with know-how. Printing classes were an indispensable part of the school as they prepared and printed the many forms, programs, and tickets used throughout the year. While mechanical drawing students struggled with dividers, angles, and T-squares, the other indus- trial art shops built sets for the senior plays and found satisfaction completing many other projects. Business students in distributive education class- es spent part of their day working at outside jobs. Other projects of the year included a commercial law class visit to Cook County Court. The experience gave students a richer meaning to what had been discussed in class.
