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

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

Past, present and future history is in the making In United States history, juniors studied the struggles of the United States for independence. Denise Hansen and Duane Hartup examine a colonial recruting poster. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors participated in world history, U.S. history, government, economics, so- ciology, Communism seminar, and world affairs. By studying the past as well as the economic, social, and political forces of the present, the social studies de- partment gave students a knowledge of the world today and an insight into the future. U.S. and world history courses made detailed studies of the past. In sociology, students studied the prob- lems and emotions of people. In eco- nomics, students learned the structure of U.S. democracy. The students in Communism seminar studied the value and danger of the soviet system. World affairs made a study of prob- lems facing the U.S. in relation to foreign countries. Mr. Malott explains to a government class the basic ideas of democracy on which the United States government is based. 24 Social Studies
