Elements and Equations Of the three science classes, each concentrated on a different area Biology is the study of all liv- ing materials, so the biology classes studied plants, animals, bacteria, the human body, and other protozoans. Biology I did the disecting of the smaller species, such as starfish and earthworms. Biology II disected a pig. The physical science classes studied the basics of science The chemistry classes studied protons, atoms, molecules, and the Periodical Chart of Elements. They also ventured into the lab and worked with chemicals. They created materials like salt and silver. They physics classes studied nuclear physics as well as the mysteries of electricity and light and its behavior. Being the most advanced science class, the physics students studied long and hard— Science (A) Robert Angerer experiments with the new computer in the science department (b) tanny Lincecum assists in a problem in physics (c) Caren Qualls dissects her pig in Biology II class

Foreign Languages Culture Invades Classroom The high point of the year for Linda Heathington's Spanish classes was their field trip to Amarillo for the play Los Titeres de Cachiporra. The study of foods from Spanish countries took up a large part of the year while Spanish I studied the customs of Spanish speaking countries. Spanish II and Spanish III learned some Spanish games such as bingo and scrabble. Watching lots of Spanish films helped students to learn the language, and they had lots of oral and written practice in the language. In French classes, Connie Good- win put emphasis on teaching students vocabulary. They learned only two verbs, but they learned many groupings such as numbers, furniture, and animals.

Math r jkx a b Academics 17 Math Relates Cindy Cox's algebra classes were introduced to the language of algebra and learned how to solve and transform equations. They also studied fractions and their applications, solving ine- qualities, functions, and relations. Basic computer language and pro- gramming helped students see how math relates to this field. In gemoetry classes Donna Todd taught students about points, lines, and planes. A unit on constructions proved to be the most enjoyable. Karla Kitten's classes enjoyed an outdoor unit in geometry and did lots of book work and homework. The trigonometry class, under the instruction of Donna Todd, learned about the six trigonometric functions, their identities and applications to real world situations. (a) Mindy Lynch's attention is held by geometry (b) him Rebber and Charlie LighUool are engrossed in their math homework (c) Miss Todd explains a geometry problem to her class
