MATHEMATICS The technical advances produced through mathematics are exemplihed in the modern mode of living. To gain the proper foundation for advanced mathematics, Mrs. Wilson and Mr. Mitchell taught the eighth graders the fundamentals of mathematics and elementary algebra. The absorbing study of algebra I alld II was enhanced by the interesting manner in which Mr. Wilson presented the course. Learning the patterns of plane figures occupied much of the Sophomore's time. Mr. Keller and Mr. Smith made the course pleasurable by applying their knowledge of plane geometry in the classroom. General mathematics was compulsory for any Senior who had not taken any high school mathematics courses. The study of solid geometry and trigonometry opened new doors to science and engineering careers and taught the students the basis for advanced studies. Mrs. H. Wilson Mr.M. Wilson

Mr. Gills Mr. King Mr. Knox Miss McKnight Mr. Raschella SCIENCE The Freshmen came in contact with general science, which opened the field of scientific thinking. Mr. Raschella's and Mr. Knox's treatment of the subject encouraged their students to pursue the science courses. Biology, as taught by Mr. King and Mr. Williams, presented to the Sophomores the study of living organisms. Une highlight of this course was the dissection of the frog. The more advanced course of physics, the study of energy and its changes, was introduced to the Juniors. A memorable phase of Miss McKnight's physics course was the individual projects in electricity. Practical science, emphasizing application of physical laws, was offered under the supervision of Mr. Wallace. Chemistry was the final step of science in Lincoln High. ln Mr. Gill's lecture periods and laboratory classes Seniors learned the how's and why's of chemistry.
