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.

Students in home economics classes prepared themselves for the responsibility of caring for a family. They planned simple meals accord- ing to the nutritional needs of the body. The girls also designed and sewed their own clothes. Reports were presented monthly to acquaint them with newly acquired informa- tion in the field of homemaking. Stu- dents also prepared gifts and decora- tions for Christmas. Art students experimented with a variety of new techniques. Projects included work with sculpture, ceram- ics, wood block prints, pottery, water color painting, batik, and jewelry. Art courses also incorporated a sequen- tial study of art history. Art Ill and IV students were required to submit term papers relating to phases of art or art history. Classes also studied architecture as an art form and in- dustrial design. The vocational as- pects of art were stressed for stu- dents who wish to continue develop- ing their talent after high school.
