Math X Science : Seven Apple II's expand computer classes With a wide variety of math classes to :hoose from, students were given the op- uortunity to learn about their hobbies and nterests as well as meet their requirements br graduation. Along with attending class everyday, nany students had a chance to show their :nowledge by competing in different com- etitions. Such competitions included ones eld at Emporia State University and Wichita State University. Students also :ompeted in the Kansas Newman College 'owl and the State of Kansas Scholarship est, which was held at Northwest. Although no one from Northwest placed n the top three at any of these competi- zions, one team place fourth and the Wichita State University competition. john Reynolds, a representative of Bell l and Howell, spoke about computers and the importance of learning about them. The students found his lecture quite in- teresting as many of them were interested in the computer field and BASIC language. About 80 percent of the computers are pro- grammed with BASIC language. The math department had four Digital DEC Computers and also used the business departments seven Apple II's. Plans were made to add 10 new Apple II Micro Com- puters to the math department because of the increasing enrollment in the computer classes offered and Northwest. There also was an expansion of the math curriculum with the addition of two math- computer classes offered each semester. No new equipment was added to the science departments, but that did not hold the students back from enrolling and par- ticipating in a large variety of science and science-related classes. Many aspects of the science department included zoology, botany, physiology, biology, Chemistry I and II, geology, physics, and many other interesting classes. These classes taught students the impor- tance of discovery in the field of science. For instance, Chemistry I students learned a lit- tle more about the effects of nuclear war as a result of seeing the ABC movie The Day After. Mary Rubeck, chemistry teacher, was selected to attend a conference in Boston as an honors participant in chemistry. The conference dealt with the subject of Polymer Chemistry. -Missy Knolla Math I Science 0 55
