SCIENCE New Labs and Classes for Science Department Students in Mr. Roth's advanced biology class dissect fetal pigs in their laboratory class. Don Rogers, LHS physics teacher, had to look at almost Juniors in Eri's second hour chemistry class work all boys throughout the year since very few girls enrolled to find their unkown solutions during lab. for the class. SCIENCE at LHS this year found many changes and improvements. The biology field trips were slight- ly altered this year due to the large amount of snow. Many students par- ticipated in the few that were held, how- ever. An advanced biology class was held by Mr. Roth for the first time and Mr. Watson taught a new class called BSCS, Biological Society for Curriculum Studies. Everything was new in the chemistry classes this year. New, modern rooms and lab equipment were furnished in the new addition. New textbooks were also used. There was one regretted change-- the announced retirement of Eri Wood, a long-time LHS favorite. Physics classes were basically the same this year. The subject is becom- ing gradually more popular among the girls but there were still only two or three of the fair sex in each class. 20

JOURNALISM Color is a Highlight for Both Publications RED G BLACK staff members Henry Person, Doug Hargadine, Cindy Jones, and Jenny Hanna pose for pictures taken to be used for a national publication. Photo by Rich Clarkson BUDGET editor Vinita Fishel and assistant editor John Hartman work together on die assignments for next issue of the paper. JOURNALISM this year meant much hard work carried on in an informal atmosphere. The class was divided into two sections, newspaper and annual, both working to put out the best publi- cations possible. The BUDGET staff, under the direc- tion of editor Vinita Fishel, succeeded in delivering a very fine paper to the stu- dents every other week. The Christmas issue once again featured a color picture, a rarity in the high school newspapers. The yearbook staff, headed by editor Cindy Jones, spent many hours after the normal schoolday working on the 1962 RED BLACK. The staff was honored when it was chosen to be used in a na- tional publication put out by the Myers yearbook publishers. More pages and more color were main features of the book with color used on each division page. 19

MAT HEM A TICS Variety of Courses for Mathematical Students MATHEMATICS students at LHS chose from a wide variety of subjects. Sophomores and juniors took geometry and algebra while the seniors chose from a combination of statistics and triginometry or calculus and analytical geometry. Students could earn college credit for the latter courses. Each year several of our students qualify for the summer courses at Kansas University. This gives them a chance to take courses not usually available to high schoolers. Hooray! It's National Algebra Teacher’s Day reads the blackboard in Mrs. Shana'a's class. Larry Brickner finds working at the board helpful in doing his trigonometry problems. Much of the work in geometry class is done at the blackboard. RED G BLACK assistant editor Henry Person checks up on our photo- grapher as other mem- bers of the calculus class work on their studies. 21
