With the chemistry classes trying to blow up the school, the biology classes disecting frogs and taking nature hikes, and the trig, classes surveying the school grounds, we found enough things of interest in our science and math departments to keep us busy. These departments have grown so much that this year a new teacher, Mr. Hinkley, taught the overflow of chemistry and plane geometry students, and Mr. Morseth acquired higher algebra students for the first time. Mr. Bristol was kept busy with his two algebra and two solid geometry classes. For those who didn’t go on to solid geometry and trig., there was senior math from Mr. Millard to struggle with. Phy. ed. always had been fun. Although it is required for sophomores, many upper classmen took it as an extra subject. They did the usual things this year, including combined classes with the boys and girls during the dancing units. In the fall, they went outside and could be seen from the windows doing exercises and playing soccer, and in the spring they could be seen shooting at targets during their archery period. 11

This year's courses were « V’ full of projects and term papers, and so was the library full the day before the projects were due. Besides affecting the library, the term papers also affected the typing classes, because many of the typing students typed term papers for seniors. This year a new system was originated when there were two history courses offered to juniors, a world history course for those going on to college and a world problems course for those who will be through with their education when they graduate. Venturing into the art room after school some night in December, you probably would have found Mr. Grimes busy making programs for the chorus’ Christmas concert. Making these programs shows how the music and art departments work together. Mr. Burton Grimet, art; Mr. Raymond

Some of the classes that were the most fun were home economics for the girls, and the shop classes for the boys. Some boys in wood shop made lamps from wood, while others in metal shop made wrought iron rails and utensils. Driver training was another fun class. The driver training car took a lot of punishment from hopeful future drivers, but it still was running at the end of the year. Mr. Milo Fowler, shop; Mr. Finer Anderson, driver training; Mr. Orion Peik, biology, wood shop. Mrs. Corrie Ober, secretary to the principal; Mrs. Ruby Barnes, secretary to the principal. Often we had been in the office, either getting passes, writing announcements in the bulletins, or giving club funds to Mrs. Ober for depositing. If we ever wanted to find someone, the office was usually the first place we went to. Or. if we needed supplies of some kind, they usually could be found there. 12 Mrs. Patricia Board, secretary to the superintendent; Mr. Robert Haig, business monager; Mrs. Harriet Gleason, secretary to the superintendent.
