COURSES CREATE IDEAS Little lab creatures were stabbed, torn, and mutilated as Biology I classes tried their hand at dissecting for the first time. Earthworms, clams, and frogs were studied for their internal structures and different body systems during the year. The Advanced Biology Class worked worked with fetal pigs for a more in- tense study of the circulatory systems and body organs. Students boiled lab- oratory frogs to clean the skeletons for observation. Chemistry classes worked with many formulas and studied chemical reactions. Electricity, gravity, and light waves were only a part of the many forces observed by the Physics class. Earth and General Science classes studied various subjects including physical concepts of the earth. Mr. Gamble, Mrs. Jane Hall, and her substitute, Mrs. Welch taught the six different science courses. Problems, theorems, and equations racked the minds of many math stu- dents. They spent the months adding and subtracting, dividing and multi- plying. Mr. Hinkle explained Algebra 1,11, HI, and Advanced Math theory to stu- dents. Conducting General Math clas- ses, Mr. Weber taught students the finer points of decimals and fractions. Mrs. Acker handled the Business Math class.
