muscles and musicians Potential improvements in the physical education department were studied this year in an attempt to expand the present program. New plans were made for classification of students in the future based on body type and general physical fitness. Students participated in special tests to determine their swimming ability and body strength. Instructors also examined the possibility of establish- ing an elective program. Numerous performances high- lighted the music departments ac- tivities this year. Band, orchestra, and chorus demonstrated their skills in the annual Mid-Winter Concert in addition to their other programs. Those who did not perform were again given the opportunity to listen to and discuss music through a mu- sic appreciation class. During band practice, Vern Soeldner awaits a signal from the director to begin playing. A clarinet section rehearses its music in preparation for the annual Homecoming parade. Ned Bouril concentrates on the bass part in anticipation of the annual fall play

math and science: discovery inquiry Science courses adopted the dis- covery and inquiry method this year. Students performed experiments and collected data. Next, they made cal- culations, analyzed the data, and made generalizations. These were built into the concepts which formed the major topics of the various sub- jects. Biology, chemistry, physics, and science survey classes were of- fered. For the first time, advanced science was presented. Its purpose was to apply the study of scientific and logical reasoningto projects. Student responsibility in learning was stressed by the math depart- ment. An expanded approach to each particular math subject was empha- sized. Class Curriculums ranged from the study of applications, in Nlath IV and V, to general math, a consumer- type mathematics program. Geome- try students studied the structure of proofs. Study of the structure ot mathematical systems was empha- sized in Nlath lll. -ui, Learning to use balances correctly is one of many skills attempted by these physics students I f ' wZ The math otice provides study space for Barb Deubler, Diane Gorychka, and Steve Meidl, as well as storage space for math projects.
