Snow? ln May? Such freak weather reports are common in Mr. Malcolm Thomsonls chemistry classes, where the term 'fsnowfiakej' means a pop quiz in the near future. Both chemistry and biology students utilize the laboratory to investigate processes of science and the history of scientific ideas. Biology classes deal specihcally with the unity as well as the diversity of all living things. In physics students are briefed in mechanics, heat, sound, light, and electrici- ty. Astronomy, meteorology, and geology make up the course in earth science, in which Mr. Richard Dixon strives to give his students an understanding and background basic to their environment. The revolutionary 'fnew math has now become a A RELL'C'l'AN'lS MOTOR causes problems in Mr. Hoagland's power mechanics class, rzzglzf. regular and successful part of our curriculum. Courses range from elementary algebra and geometry to advanced algebra and trigonometry. Ambitious students can take up to live years of math. Industrial arts classes are offered to prepare stu- dents forjobs in vocational and industrial Helds. Mr. Bill DeHon teaches his electronics students to work with and repair electrical equipment. Metal working and power mechanics are being taught for the First time in the new metal shop. Mr. Bruce Parker in- corporates the use of good design into his wood shop classes, where students must also make use ofthe skills obtained in a previous semester of mechanical drawing. ath Science Industrial Arts Interpret Man 7 7 RICHARD D1xoN - wwso B.S., earth science, geography, dept. head, . .rai M Red Cross. . .- ,1osEPH NORLIE - Luther College . ,., BS., physics. algebra, public address. ,t f i X, All . . ... 8 .....

Combined Work,Play Make Good Citizens One, two, one, two . . . Familiar sounds echo from the gymnasium as physical education students warm up with calisthenics. Soccer, field hockey, arch- ery, volleyball, basketball, and swimming are among the activities which help students to develop recrea- tional skills useful throughout life. New studies in- clude an individual exercise analysis for freshman girls, and an advanced class for both boys and girls. Classroom instruction in driving is a regular part of the sophomore curriculum. An outlet for tension, physical education classes also stimulate growth of intellectual, social, and emotional, as well as physical capacities. Business education teachers have an opportunity to emphasize the elements of character and personality practical to all businesses. The latest in IBM machin- ery aids preparation in either the general clerical and accounting course or the secretarial-stenographic study. Among the new equipment is an IBM tran- scriber and dictator, equipped with tape-recordings and adjustable headsets to provide practice in dicta- tion. Twenty new typewriters and Eve new IBM se- lectrics also prepare business students for work in modern ofhces. PERRY BROWN - WSU B.S., phys. ed., asst. football, swimming.
