MR. ISAIAH OWEN explains the characteristics of a right triangle to his plane geometry class. Projects for Fair under the direction of Miss Ruth Bell and Mr. Ronald Richards. Miss Bell also taught biology. Chemistry and physics were supervised by Mr. Maurice Fowler. Mr. Burton Chandler's subtle jokes often brightened the serious subjects of algebra, solid geometry, and trigonome-1 try. General math and plane geometry were taught by Mr. Isaiah Owen. A math tournament in charge of jun- ior high mathematics teachers T. R. Storer and William Reynolds March 9- I8 created interest among students in the Cole building. The Sharp Heads and the Quiz Kids representing the eighth and seventh grades, respectively, were off victorious, AS DAVE ROSS illustrates a prob- lem in long division, Mr. T. R.

Scientists Make What on earth can I do for a science project? was the question heard most often from science students in grades 7- 12 as the school prepared for its first olTicial Science Fair March 26. In step with the times the most popu- lar subject for exhibits was outer space. Many facets of this selection were worked out in such projects as model solar sys- tems, inside a rocketf' and a completely equipped space station. Mr. Harry Shadle and Mr. Irvin Max- well, who supervised junior high students in preparing their entries, guided them through the year in elementary science. Ninth graders received a taste of what they could expect if they continued in science while studying general science MR. W. T, REYNOLDS tries to start seventh grade mathematicians on the road to success toward high school math.
