Mathematics and science enkindle an understand- ing of the more complex truths ot the land in which we live. Through a sound and well-rounded aco- demic course, students receive the best training and guidance to continue on to college or move directly from high school into the working world. Q-My Eighth and ninth grade general science gives stu- ' dents a substantial background ot the earth, plan- N ets, and the everyday things of lite. Biology enhances life itself by broadening our knowledge of hu- man behavior, plants and animals, and the needs ot all living things. Chemistry enables us to study the soil under our teet, to unravel the tiny mysterious atoms, and to look into the vastness of the unknown. Placing sixteenth in the Minnesota Institute of Technology test, our school afters an excellent op- portunity to students interested in the math field. General math, geometry, and algebra teach us not only the art of calculating, but also the virtue of patience, undying perseverance, and reasoning so badly needed in solving the problems of lite. One wrong move means a wrong answer. Experimenting to determine Avogadro's number, Gary Kriesel, science and math award winner and National Merit Scholarship winner, finds the procedure a painstaking task. Gary further honored Owatonna high by placing tenth among 8,000 students in a nation-wide math test. RESEARCH KEEPS FIRES OF THE FUTURE ALIGHT Upon following directions of a given experiment, chemistry students, Donna Bruno, Ethel Armstrong, Jim Dinsmore, Doug Miller, and Jim Gute note the reaction that takes place when sulfur is mixed with acid.
