Today the instructional materials department owns 4000 slides, 2000 records, 750 film strips, 150 objects and 130 models. All of the animals in the hall showcases belong to the department.

MANY OBJECTS AID TEACHER. Biology teaching aids are specimens and models. Here a moss-covered bran:-h adds effect to studies. OLD LAB SEEMS STRANGE. The old lab of KCHS was small, but well equipped with scientific material. MODERN LAB TECHNIQUES CREATE INTEREST. A modern lah makes the study of a science more interesting. KU students are fortunate to use two of thc highest rated labs in the state. Teaching Aid When ex-President Eisenhower called for .1 rapid increase in math and science in Americas schools, KU needed only a slight change due to its previously high standards. Even in the early days of KCHS laboratory sciences were offered. As the years lleeted into his- tory, the science department advanced to greater mysteries that the worldis scientists were solving. For the fledgling science student KU offers gen- eral science, biology and chemistry. After he has completed these courses, a superior student may branch into the field that suits him best: advanced biology, advanced chemistry and physics. It is pos- sible, of course, to enter all fields. Klamath Falls residents may be very proud that from the laboratories of its high school have come students who have such excellent backgrounds in their chosen fields to enter college with sophomore honors.
