We Learn-More Math and Science Students had the chance to welcome several new teachers to the MSHS science staff this year. This experi- ence was a learning process for both teachers and students, With the addi- tion of these new instructors and the deletion of second year chemistry, the newly reformed science depart- ment was complete. Our science department offered courses in phys- ics and astronomy for the more aca- demically oriented as well as biology and chemistry for those wishing only a basic understanding of the world around them. Offered in our science curriculum were several elective courses such as anatomy and physiol- ogy, horticulture and ISIS. Introduction to Computers was an elective course offered in the math department in 1980. This was not the only course offered in the mathemat- ics field. Courses ranged from con- sumer math to advanced calculus. There were courses for all needs and Wants. For people who needed the basic math required for everday life there was consumer math, for those wanting an extra year or two of math or planning future development in this area there was algebra and geometry. For those lucky few who already had a high degree of skill in this area, calculus and advanced cal- culus were offered.

W e Learn Creative Activities P.E. was a course which offered a chance for students to release their excess physical energy in an invigo- rating and active way. These activi- ties were enjoyable as long as every- one followed a few simple require- ments. P.E. was required for at least one semester and in that semester one three week unit of an individual activity was required, while the other three units were left for the student to choose from a list of elective activ- ities. To receive a passing grade in P.E. it was necessary to gather no more than three non-participant days per unit, be judged competent in the particular activities the student chose, and to pass at least four of the six units of the semester. For more enjoyment and to build a greater sense of responsibility students were required to have and wear a shirt, shoes, and shorts, and each student was expected to look after his own property. A creative and exciting activity that many people at Medford Senior High School participated in was expressing themselves in art. Offered in the art department was a group of varied art classes, ranging from general art to individual study. These courses offered methods of exploring the fields of art through designing and making jewelry, pottery work, leather and fabric craftsmanship, stained glass activities and painting, For those of us who wished to enlarge our appreciation of as well as our involvement in creating and expressive acts, there was the chance to become a member of the musical society of Medford Senior High School. Whether our interests were singing, playing an instrument, or just learning to appreciate good music, we had these areas for involvement: choir, band, stage band, orchestra, 20th Century music and music appre- ciation. David Sullivan, lean Howe, Marshall Henkle, and Doug Cheney practice in the band.
