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 .....

Interest Added to Information about the past is linked with current events in such cultural classes as social studies. for- eign language, music, and art. Mr. .loc Murphy's senior current problems classes enter their discus- sions around recent news events, using their histori- cal background as a basis for understanding world situations. Freshman geography classes are presently participating in a program involving only nine other schools in the nation. The ro ram, Hi h School P S S Geography Project, is sponsored by the National Sci- ence Foundation. Its purpose is to evaluate and revise given units of study in the field of geography. and to prepare a practical course from them for use in sec- ondary schools. French, German, and Spanish classes now concen- trate on speaking and pronunciation rather than .just reading and writing the language. Tapes of native I speakers and a language laboratory provide for the necessary individual practice. The music department plays both classical and modern music. Advanced students are encouraged through solo opportunities and ensemble groups to increase their musical understanding, appreciation, . and skill. Awareness is the key word in Mr. Gordon Fisher's art classes. Drawing and painting provide ample opportunity for students to express themselves. Mr. I Fisher also helps students in gaining some apprecia- tion ofour artistic heritage. lffgglfxxg. f , Q , A 'Id T:, 6 , ' x -ff tt ,F A by 5 . if . ta., N V U :if I 5, .shl f tw' -tttt l K, ....
