Moth Deportment Introduces Ancilytic Geometry l Memorial offered us many choices of classes in V 1, the science field. The life sciences included Biol- ogy and Physiology in which we studied plant life, W animal life, and the human body. The physical it f ' 5 sciences, Chemistry, Earth Science and Physics, taught us about our environment, covering a wide l range of topics from outer space to the earth's center. By offering us so many courses from which to choose, our teachers helped us to gain a basic understanding of life forms and their envi- ronment. Solving equations, bisecting angles and figuring logarithims were all part of our math education. With courses ranging in difficulty from Basic Math to Analytic Geometry, we were able to find a class to meet our needs. Geometry was taught through the team teaching method thus giving us the opportunity to learn from several teachers. lf we studied Computer Math, we commuted to the Vocational-Technical Center for lab work and study. Calculus, the most advanced course, was offered in an effort to prepare us for college work. Whether we studied Basic Math or Calculus, our teachers worked together to build on a foundation forthe more difficult math courses ahead of us.

ln foreign language classes we explored not only different languages, but also new cultures. Our teachers scheduled films and special speakers which added to our understanding of the lan- guage. Visits from foreign students gave us an insight into the countries of France, Germany, and Mexico. Although we still had to study conju- gatlons and translations, the addition of special activities highlighted our classroom studies. By enlarging the curriculum and specializing many courses, our history teachers prepared a year's work which they hoped would be both interesting and enlightening. If we were sopho- mores, the Civil War, prohibition, the industrial Revolution, and westward movement character- ized our classes as we studied about American History from 1850 to the present. As juniors and seniors a wide variety of classes were open to us. If our interests lay in historical studies we were able to choose from World l-listory, Ancient and Medieval l-listory, and Modern l-listory. Econom- ics, Government, and Sociology gave us the opportunity to learn about the various aspects of national money management and leadership. ln American Realities we studied current events such as Watergate, inflation, and our nation's many shortages. As a department our teachers worked together to provide interesting films and guest speakers to help us escape from the usual memorization of dates and battles and thus expanded our knowledge of local and national issues. 30 Faculty Students listen to Mr. Becknells interpretalogn of a classical French poem.
