A COMPUTER PROGRAM STOOD out as one of the major accomplishments of the math department. IBM key punch in- put and teletype input were among the objectives. A computer language, Fortran, was taught to help students better under- stand mathematics involved. ln order to give an overall picture of the world of computers, the students took field trips to ASU's Engineering Department. General math and practical math prepared students for more advanced courses like geometry and calculus. Students could also enroll in algebra I, II, plane geometry, al- gebra Ill, IV, trigonometry and advanced concepts, and advanced math. Twenty students enrolled in calculus, the advanced math course at MHS. M.

Felt invades plant Worldg applies botan TRYING TO REUNITE man to his agri- cultural base serves as groundwork for the new, applied botany course at MHS. With a total of forty students enrolled, major emphasis was concentrated on demon- strating the beauty and life of plants and giving students practical experience in working with them. Unique to high schools in the county, was the addition of a fully automated greenhouse. Done by the stu- dents, the bordering, a patio, and a pond added to the attractiveness of the green- house. Insect nets invaded the school, as biology students compiled their annual collections. Chemistry students absorbed PHYSICS INSTRUCTOR FRANKLIN ALDOUS inserts personal observations on the com- munity life in Alaska and South Pacific while conducting in-depth discussion on vectors. light, and acceleration. DISCUSSING THE FIRST major project required for Sophomore biology, students of .Ierry Burden's class continue to collect insects. All Mac graduates must have at least one year of lab science. themselves in ions and chemical formulas. Other courses in the science curriculum in- cluded physical science, physics, and ad- vanced biology. Roger Williams, head of the department, and five other returning teachers, welcomed Kathy Rumple, who recently moved to Arizona. Franklin Aldous .Ierry Burden Johnny Felty Kathy Rumple 26--science
