'VIr Unruh uses overhead to drive home assignments. Mr Ediger ponders one of his many interesting biology specimens. L BORATORY SCIE CE Mr. Zerger points out molecule to the bamed chemistry class. Laboratory sciences contain all the mysteries, complexities, and wonders of life. From dissecting a frog to determining properties of hydrochloric acid, MHS science courses are invigorating. It offers constant surprise because of its dependence on experiment and discovery. Under the direction of Mr. jay Frazier, Mr. Carl Ediger, and Mr. Garth Werner, biology attracts a great deal of attention and interest. Mr. Paul Zergeris capable direction insures a knowledgeable experience for stu- dents enrolling in Chemistry. The natural world is open to the students eager to uncover its mysteries. Taught by Mr. Roy Unruh, physics gives students the knowledge of the world of un-living objects. Visions ofa winning basketball team cloud Frazier's biological thoughts. l 1 2

E GLIH Senior English - Mrsilarkie Raymond .junior English - Mrs. Byrlee Davidson Senior English - Mrs. Frances Edwards A sound knowledge of a language affords communication. And communication is imperative for learning. It is becoming increasingly evident that learning is a prerequisite for personal and public suc- cess and welfare. Mastering the English language - with all its complexities and diversities -is essential to students walking into a com- plex and diversified world. Speaking a language is only part of the English department,s job. Interpretation of language in literature is equally im- portant. From Chaucer to Tennyson or Emerson to Twain, literature has gained a decided foothold in scholastic impor- tance. Through the writing of such liter- ary immortals, students are offered a world of information that is both interest- ing and enjoyable. Literature and grammar are taught by Mrs. Margaret Starks, Miss Clella Nel- son, Mrs. Anne McGhee, Mrsjackie Raymond, Mr. Ralph Earles, Mrs. Frances Edwards, and Mrs. Byrlee Davidson. Through their efforts, stu- Sophomore English - Mrs. Anne Mt-Ghcc 'junior English - Mr. Ralph Earles dents learned the art ofthe English lan- guage and the men who mastered it with eloquent, classic beauty. l l 1 1 Sophomore English - Miss Clclla Nelson Junior English - Mrs, Margaret Starks

S f 4 Two students slave over geometric problem on blackboard. The importance of mathematics can never be underestimated. Since early times it has been a fundamental method of communication from one man to another. It is a language but it contains no words or phrases. It is a universally accepted language consisting of addition, subtraction, division, and hundreds of other mathematical figures. Therefore, it is no wonder that MHS has offered for many years and still offers various courses of math. Geometry, Algebra I and Il, senior math, and calculus are included in the diversified curriculum. Head men in the MHS math department are Mr. Carl Harris and Mr. Harry Heckelthorn. Mr. Garth Werner complements them by teaching three hours of Algebra. Harris' class is nothing but laughsfl Mr. Werner flashes his familiar grin at the canierzl. 13
