Work, speed, and accuracy needed in The teachers of the Mathematics Department guided students in the different fields of math. Beginning algebra studied the basic concepts, while advanced algebra ex- tended the elementary. Geometry dealt with studying planes and solids. Senior math contained trigonometry and quadratic systems. Fifth year mathematics stud)- ranged from prob- ability to calculus. Redskins taking biology, chemistry, earth science, or physics had new equipment such as microscopes, in their classes. Biology students grasped a better understanding of life and na- ture from their lab experiments. Earth science students learned of the earth and its makeup. Physics dealt in the measure of distances and chemistry dealt with formulas and composition of elements. By using the overhead projector, Karen Feller e.xplains a geometry problem dealing with congruent angles. Advanced algebra students Will Kline and Teresa Bonifas listen as Mr. Donald Hunter explains how to operate the slide rule and how to use it in their homework assignments. Seniors John Knuth and Cindy Olinger try to solve a trigonmetric function in a senior math course. They then take the end result and record it on a graph. 22 Math

Diagnostic Correction Lab develops vocabularies Underclassmen composed themes, acted in dramas, and researched term papers. Meanwhile, seniors studied Greek tragedies, discussed 20th cen- tury poetry, and read old world lit- erature as part of the English depart- ment curriculum. The English Department adjusted its curriculum to present material evolving out of students ' needs and to generate interest for all students. Making the study of English more interesting proved to be worthwhile, because students learned to apply themselves to understanding English literature. The English Department featured a newly devised Diagnostic Correc- tion Lab opened to all students in- terested in developing their reading vocabularies. Four of Miss Little ' s senior English class have questions about the literature that they are read- ing and want to know her opinion on the subjects of controversy. Senior Bonnie Studebaker shows Becky Walker where to read as the class reads the drama Marty aloud. Reading a drama like this helps the student to develop his readmg ability. English 21

both math and science courses Experimenting with scientific toys, these students are able to visuaHze and to grasp an under- standing of physics principles. During their earth science class, junior Rand ' Wall and senior Linda Headford study and identify rock samples. Mixing two elements to get a chemical re action, Carolyn Reppett and Barb Zollar: work on their chemistry lab experiment. Science 23
