Mrs. Koch Mr. Schwartz APPLIED SCIENCE The applied science department is headed by two first year teachers, Mrs. Koch and Mr. Schwartz. These two teachers handle all of the classes in the math and science area. Mrs. Koch teaches general math, Algebra 1 and 2, plane geometry, and chemistry. Trigonometry and analysis are also offered on a semester basis. Unusual twists are occasionally added when Mrs. Koch hands out the dice and “contrig” is played. Mr. Schwartz teaches biology, a required subject for freshmen, botany, and zoology. In these classes, Mr. Schwartz helps the students understand the physical make-up of the human body and other organisms. Groans and moans were heard in the fall as students got first hand education by dissecting a frog. Above: Biology class reading another chapter for Mr Schwartz.

The business department at LHS is headed by Mr. Don Bell. Mr. Bell teaches bookkeeping, typing, office practice, vocational math, and shorthand. These classes are offered to the students to give them practical experience in the business world so they may be able to find an office job after graduation. Bookkeeping and vocational math get students ready for jobs such as accounting, while the other three prepare students in note taking and typing for college or in secretarial fields. Ken Cochran and Roger Parrish study their bookkeeping. Above: Mr. Bell assists Carolyn Phillips.
