Science Classes Emphasize Student's Lab Work Visions of nuclear fission inspire Tom Hendricks and Clark Gillaspie to continue work on their atom smasher. A new approach to learning was developed this year in the Science Department as more emphasis was placed on the student’s individual laboratory work rather than routine study alone. The student found scientific facts more “real” when discover- ing them through elaborate experiments as well as by reading about them in textbooks. A new course. Physical Science, was offered to those who wished to study beyond a year of biology but who did not choose to take a full year of physics and or chemistry. Gifted seniors undertook the two-hour-a-day session of College Chemistry while standard chem- istry was popular enough to require six sessions of classes to meet the demand. Physics classes experimented with a “self- help” program which minimized lecture time and gave the student more time to work on his own. In biology, the student gained a greater knowledge of the science of life as well as some “helpful hints on maintaining good health. work is all-important in science, especially in the area of chemistry. Bob Jenkins and Bruce Henricks prepare to analyze a liquid solution while Pat Tisdale and Steve Hergert take inventory and La Vonne Hudson and Dale Lohr study a particle from a mixture. 16

As a mathematics teacher at both Irving Junior High and Lincoln High schools, Miss Waide was highly respected by stu- dents, parents, and her professional colleagues. The contributions she has made to the academic program of our school are immeasurable. Her dedication to her responsibilities as financial adviser for all high-school publications will long be remembered by Advocate, LINKS, and Scribe staffs. Although Miss Waide had varied interests in the community, including her church and civic activities, her first concern was always the welfare and good image of Lincoln High School. 15
