Math Problems Challenge Many Students JON I GILMORE and Carrie Christensen listen intently as Mr. Bashaw explains some Algebra I to the class. Emphasis on equation solving and the real number system is featured in Algebra I, taught by Mr. Bashaw. He also teaches Applied Math II and Algebra Part I. Mr. Haun teaches senior math. Algebra Part I and advanced algebra. Senior math includes instruction in solid geometry, trigonometry, statistics and introduction to analytical geometry and calculus. An introduction into the vocabulary and concepts used in algebra is characteristic of Algebra Part I. Advanced algebra includes advanced concepts. Geometry includes algebraic concepts along with plane and solid geometric fundamentals. The over-sized geometry class is taught by Mr. Pahl. Instructing students in a review of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, Mr. Pahl adds to his Applied Math II class by including banking services, installments and purchases, investments and income tax. A continuation of Algebra Part I is the basis for Algebra Part II. MR. BASHAW uses the chalk board as a visual aid to explain math. DAROLD DEBOWY listens as Mr. Pahl explains a problem. 12 STUDENTS in Mr. Haun's Algebra I class are seen listening to a lecture concerning a new math problem they will soon be solving. MR.

As They Study Their Physical World MR. WILLIAMS takes time between classes to prepare lesson plans. A NEW technique is demonstrated by Mr. Meyer to his glassblowing class. EXPERIMENTS ARE an important and interesting part of science classes. Mr. Meyer explains a chemical experiment to his chemistry classes. SHERLI BELL, Julie Tritt and Trudy Schindler receive help from Mr. Bunner during a biology assignment. Earth science explores the fundamentals of astronomy, minerology, physical and historical geology, oceanography and meteorology. Mr. Bunner and Mr. Williams instruct in this area. Mr. Meyer teaches advanced biology, chemistry, photography and glassblowing. Advanced biology emphasizes human biology, anatomy and physiology. Chemistry deals with the structure, and composition of materials and the changes in composition of these materials. The photography class involves the entire process from taking a picture to developing a print. In glassblowing students learn to manipulate molten glass by using freehand sculpture and blowing techniques. Biology, the study of living things, includes the cell, the plant and animal kingdoms, human biology, genetics and ecology. Biology is taught by Mr. Bunner. A basic introduction to electricity, and an examination of all elements of circuitry are included in electronics, taught by Mr. Williams. He also teaches physics, which covers the units of matter and energy. Mr. Pahl teaches physical science, an examination of the principles and processes in physics, chemistry and earth and space sciences. 11
