Classes of Applied Skills The new look in teaching and learning methods spread throughout Northeast this year. In math and science classes the overhead projector has become an essential part of groupwork. It has provided a means for uniting teacher and student in their work. Our science department is well equipped to teach students the fundamentals of research and experi- ments. These two closely related subjects have, by no means, thrown out the learning by doing method. Research on the part of the student is a necessary element to learning. Mr. Powell'» geometry class uses overhead projector in an explanation of class work. It proves a great help to Genetta Brown, Malee Ellis, Steve Miller, and Ron Harper. Helping others discover the life of the microscopic world is Isabelle Riggs, lab aid for Mrs. Biles. Algebra II students, Dorothy Buckhold, Linda Evans, and Nancy Bolton make use of their after school hours to receive help in their work. 29

History and History is a course of learning the past and the present. Textbooks, guidance programs, and term papers teach us of our heritage. We learn of our democracy—how it was used in the past and how the people fought for it. Students of Mr. Dees’ history class realize the necessity of patriotism toward school and country. To teach us tomorrow’s history. The Daily Okla- homan and The Oklahoma Journal, which Mr. Finnell uses in his history and government classes, tell students of the current happenings in the world today, locally, statewide, and nationally.
