SCIENCE Mysteries in nature and physical world Science courses this year were keynoted by experiments and class discussions. Films and reports supplimented the class work. Physics, chemistry, biology, and general science were the subjects offered. A student must be a junior or senior to take chemistry and physics, a sophomore or higher to take biology. General science was open to all classes. Mr. Joesph Galusky-B. S. , W e s t Virginia Wesleyan; M. A, , West Virginia University; M. S. , West Virginia University; biology, chemistry, physics. LEFT: M. Scanlon andB. DeVilbiss determine the stretch of a spring in physics. LOWER LEFT, left to right: C. Ford, C. Nelson, and D. Shelton weigh objects on a balance scales in chemistry. RIGHT: H. Patterson and C. Cross test for proteins in biology.

MATH and opportunities for mental development. Trigonometry, o f f e red for the first time, was a one semester sub- ject. Students taking this course changed to algebra II the second semester. In years to come, though, two semesters of algebra II will be given, and those taking trig, will take solid geometry the second se- mester . Mr. Edward J. Pfeifer-B . S. , M .A . , St. Thomas College; General Math and Algebra I. Glenn Pearce recites as Phil Tidwell, LarryRoss, Ramon Sierra, and Donald Pingleton look on. BELOW LEFT: Students do homework inalgebra I class. FIRST ROW: Glenda Porter, Ronnie Knot, Jerry Julian, and Steaven Carrol. SECOND ROW: Wayne Rathbun, Ray Lira, and Phil Churchfield. THIRD ROW: Linda Ballis, Gloria M e ad o w s, and Carl Godsoe. FOURTH ROW: Ella Mae S i s c o and Joel Miles. FIFTH ROW: Madelyn Spezia, Alvin Thornton, and Ray Morgan.

SCIENCE explored by students in Science classes. Nuclear physics and its i m p o r t a n c e in the modern world, was studied in both chemistry and physics. The last few we e k s of biology were concerned with radioactive materials and their use in disease and explorations of plants and animal functions. There were many projects in the different classes. These were completed in spare time to widen the students' knowledge. Mr. Darrell Evans - B.A., Texas Western College; M.A., Texas Western College; biology and general science, Sponsor Chess Club.
