Head Chemistry Football Rifle Club DOLORES HULSE VIVIAN JONES EDWARD LEMON Chemistry Mathematics Science Athletic Manager Benefitting from several changes, the MHS science and math departments continue to offer students a ariety of challenging elective courses. Biology and chemistry maintain their basic labora- tory practices, while the physics department initiates a new course prescribed by the Physical Science Study Committee. Offered to one senior class, this subject ap- plies an entirely new concept in the teaching of physics; it stresses primarily the practical application of advanced scientific principles. Expanding its program to make advanced algebra as well as plane geometry available to sophomores, the math department, in addition to these courses, provides trigonometry and solid geometry to upperclassmen; while the senior honors group studies college analytical geome- try, a new addition to the MHS curriculum.

MHS Students Learn About the World HELEN ANDERSEN JACK CODER Government History Head of Social Studies Key Club LEONA DAY ROY DEVINNEY History History “The barbarians came down through this country explains Mr. Laws to his sophomore world history class as Dave Bloomquist ana Connie Turner take a closer look at the ancient map. To fulfill the curiosity about the world and its people, MHS students are required to take five semes- ters of social science. Sophomore classes gain valuable education through the exploration of world history— from oriental dynasties to the colonies of the new world. While studying United States history, juniors learn to unearth the problems which have faced our country since the day of Columbus and to meet the inevitable problems of the future. In government, seniors discover the functions of local and national governing bodies. Past and present problems come alive through the social sciences at MHS, as students and teachers work to build a nation of well-informed citizens.
