SCIENTIFIC NOTATION This year's new building and mod system aided both the Math and Science Departments. There was more time for individual help, experimentation, and studying. There was greater student opportunity with a math office available for reference, calculators for the needy, and a science quiet study area with a library of its own. And there was more space than ever before — space to store all the equipment, chemicals, and partially completed dissections that formerly cluttered the labs and clogged all the drains. Mr. Samuelson and Mr. Boylan (who filled in during Mr. Ulander's convalescence) made use of the opaque projector and Mr. Peterson took advantage of his new microscopes. Mr. Dalen chalked on the new sliding doors while Mr. Van Wyk cleaned and polished his brand new peninsulas in the chemistry room. As characterized by the exceptionally high degree of concentration, this is definitely Mr. Dalen’s class. MR. DALEN Mr. Dalen: So you see, Cathy, this extremely fascinating, terribly sophisticated Monroe 770 calculator isn't so hard to operate. MR. BOYLAN MR. SAMUELSON 29 Viewing their terribly impressive list of calculations, Alan and Judd admire the printed evidence of their math ability.

There is definitely biological evidence on this slide of the presence of the deoxyribose nucleic acid molecule. Just because Joe Logan crashed into a tree on his cycle, it didn't keep him from helping Daryl Meyer with his Physics.

c@(f !. ?%)$,V@ Who said sewing was a cinch! SECRETS OF THE TRADE The new mod scheduling provided many opportunities for interested students to learn buymenship and fashion design as well as the traditional sewing and cooking. This year the Home Ec classes operated on a semester basis, thus hoping to involve the student who had a limited interest in Home Ec. With the addition of the laundry department, the students learned to wash their own aprons. The new lounge, complete with sofa and lounge chairs, was used for informal entertaining and proved helpful during the child care unit. Mr. Harstad, new to Orono, guided wood students in the use of the new equipment, the radial arm saw, band saw and drill press. He taught metal students to use the vertical and horizontal band saws, the grinders, vises, and spinning lathe. Mods provided extra time for assigned projects and individual creations. With his extremely technical mind, and highly developed skills, one could always find John Raskob in the shop. MRS. HOLZINGER MR. HARSTAD 30 He may have had trouble finding a stool, but Brian seemed to have little difficulty transcribing the pattern on his sheet metal.
