KERTH i p f' MR, SHERIDAN Sclence Mayberry's Science Department's aim is to in- crease the students' experience with scientific phe- nomenon that they can apply to their everyday life. Experimental projects vary from watching plants, to studying bacteria culture as they develop, to dis- secting frogs. Teachers believe that if a person has a great knowledge of Science and is able to adapt to his environment, he will be a better citizen of tom- orrow. an There's more to typing than just A B C. ID Goldfishj Typlng The goals of the Typing Department are to develop skills sufficient enough to help the students aquire a secretarial or business careeer in the future. The course is available only to ninth graders. Some of the activities that the classes work on dur- ing the year are learning to type postcards, notes, letters, short compositions, formal manuscripts, and business letters. The typing course stresses the development of habits which will help the students all through their lives, such as accuracy, speed, self-discipline, wil- lingness to Work, and initiative. Good typing ability can only be accomplished by daily practice, and depends completely on the stu- dents attitude and the personal goals he sets for him- self. MRS, FREED

Volleyball, tumbling, touch football, baseball, bombardment, and gymnastics are all a part of the yearly activities that students participate in. First Aid is taken only by the ninth graders. It is a course that helps the students know what to do in common emergencies. Intramurals are a voluntary part of the physical ed- ucation program for students. They are held after school to give students a chance to participate and develop their skills learned in class. Spanish The basic idea of this course is to give the students a better understanding of the language of the Spanish people. ' This course will help students appreciate a culture besides their own. Each student has a set of ear phones which enables him to listen to Spanish spoken by natives. Flashcards, along with records, filmstrips, and tapes are also used to help give the student a bet- ter understanding of the language.

The main purpose of this department is to help the student to become proficient in his attempt to attack a problem in a logical order. These goals are accomplished through the media of lecture and demonstration, the overhead projector, student ex- planation, and live subject matter experiences. Some of the tools commonly used in math courses are: Compasses, protractors, yard sticks, meter sticks, T squares, and other plastic and wooden figures.
