Offer Advanced Courses In Geometry and Biolog For the first time, the Science department sponsored a second year course in biology, which featured in-depth study of selected aspects of biological science. Advanced study of physics was also made possible by an independ- ent study program in which students used new experi- ments, equipment and resource texts. Two lecture halls constructed last summer made team teaching efforts possible in biology, physics and chem- physics classes this year. Basic science was replaced by courses in biology and physics, which made use of special materials to teach the basic principles of science. The Mathematics department offered a new course in analytical geometry for advanced study by seniors. A computer terminal was used on a tryout basis in basic and accelerated math classes during second semester. In the future the computer terminal may become a per- manent part of Moline High School. Mr. Don Fentem amuses his chem-study classes by demonstrating the bending and stretching motions of a water molecule.

More Space, Equipment Expand Industrial Studies The Industrial Arts department received a new room for vocational auto shop classes this year. Improved facilities included a test base for stationary running engines, a new location for the chassis dynamometer, and space for about ten automobiles. Power mechanics classes took over the old auto shop quarters, and the old power mechanics classroom was renovated for graphic arts. A course in vocational weld- ing was also introduced this year. Electronics classes received new equipment, including a television demonstrator set, which simulates electrical prob- lems found in any black-and-white television. Also received was an Instrumentation Methods for Physiological Studies instrument iIMPScopeJ used in experiments relating to bio- logical science. Electronics students participated in on-the- job training projects developed by Mr. Ronald Crouch, electronics teacher. Many students continued to elect courses taught by the Business Education department in preparation for college and future careers. Starting next year, distributive education will become a IWO-year program. Students in woodworking find it is often easier to imagine the finished prod- uct than to create the product they have imagined. xfxl in fl J, William S. Adams G. Raymond Brasmer W. R.
