Perseverance Solved Math Puzzles After having new concepts presented to him, the perplexed math student went home. There, scratch outs, scribbling, and frustration forced the if . . . then . . . method of proof to make his mind reason logically. Suddenly his ideas fell into a valid pattern, which formed the solution set. His tired, but beaming face sym- bolized his extreme elation in finally achieving his goal. Dan Dedrick grafted the parabola y:x1 to help his ad- vanced math class understand the function. Kim Starke concentrated while employing angle bisectors and segment midpoints to prove angles A and B congruent.

ln a supplementary experiment, Hiedi Montag observed a rabbit's growth, eating habits, and living habits. Science Broadened Minds The enthusiastic science student fervently discussed the evolution of man. Then, in the lab, after setting his face with determination, he repeatedly combined the chemi- cals until a trace of yellow substance appeared. After this, in the physics room, the flower-like design produced by the flashing strobe light on the spinning wheel reflected in his eyes. Thus, his study of mind, matter, and motion was complete. loanne Lewis performed an electrolysis of water in which water decom- poses into its two components. In squinting, Mark Boxer exemplified the typical behavior of a beginning biology student learning the proper use of a microscope. U swift 26

Physical Education Expanded Activities Girls in sky blue gym suits and boys in loose, light blue shorts and red and blue T-shirts stretched, bent, and strained during the year in physical edu- cation classes. After five minutes of exercises the boys became team members in such games as soccer, basketball, or water polo. lunior and senior girls par- ticipated in elective activities ranging from slimnas- tics to golf. Students of all ages ended the year with aching muscles but improved physical condition. Robin Beyers spent many gym classes at the parallel bars practic- ing pulling her legs together and pointing her toes to succeed in skill tests. Linda Dohman witnessed a frequent mishap of badminton, as Marilyn Miller hit the birdie straight up to the gym's rafters. The gym class wrestler in the down posi- tion recorded two points as soon as he finished his reversal.
