Wonders of the Unknown are Found in Math Everyday application and use of mathematics is stressed in the freshmen's practical math course. Basic skills and fundamentals give the students a well-rounded background for higher mathematics. If x = 5 and y = 3, find the value of xy + y (x+3). Problems similar to this one are presented to beginning algebra students, while the more advanced classes delve deeper into more complex equations and their solutions. Geometry gives the students a chance to express himself through figures, postulates, theorems, and proofs. The main achievement of this course is to get the students to think out a problem and solve it in an orderly fashion. Rounding out this possible four year mathematics program is senior math. This gives the students a review of what they had in the past three years and a taste of what they may expect from college mathematics. Lee Froehlich does some experimenting before he comes up with the answer for a problem concerning the revolutions of a tire. I know the answer, now, Pam Masters decides she needs the real thing to figure out one of the ' 'tougher problems in algebra.

’’Now right here between France, Germany. Austria, and Italy, we have Switzerland, land of the Alps.” Mr. Rohrich helps Gail Oss prepare for a map test by pointing out some of the countries involved. Knowing where historical events take place Is an Important aspect to world history, as Karen Knudsen discovers while working on a map. The hardest part is finding places that have ceased to exist over the centuries. M. L. Jaixen Ervin Wentling American History Fred Witte American History Problems Problems ► id 19

Slide Rules, Miscroscope Open Scientific Worlds Anything from the human body or the car, to molecules, chemicals, and planets is studied in general science. This beginning science course gives students a basic background for all sciences. Dissecting a worm or a frog, viewing a new world through the microscope, or learning the life cycle of a plant, students of biology investigate living things. If you take one mole of carbon and one mole of oxygen, chemistry students find you don't come up with carbon dioxide, working with these substances, they soon come up, though, with the right combinations. Physical science and physics have to do with the study of matter and motion. Physical science offers the very basics while physics delves deeper into the subject. Students are faced with equations and formulas to solve, and do most of their work in the metric system. Test tubes, matches, tweezers, bunson burner, bottle washers, crucible, clay triangle, deflagrating spoon, Letmas vials. . . Cathy Cook and Bill Smiley look at the many different species of fish found in the aquarium in the biology room. L.
