Last year, earth science, which in- volves study of the earth and universe, was added to the curriculum. During the past two years, a new group of lab benches have been installed. Nearly every week a shipment of chemicals, beakers, or lenses arrives at the lab. This equipment aids the student in first-hand observation and study. Math is the language of science, and used as a guide. Formulas, loga- rithms, and principles learned in math are needed for a science class. New math, which teaches students the rea- soning behind statements and shows them why certain things are true, is taught in the seventh and eighth grades. Four teachers have joined our staff, bringing new ideas and making Math and Science more than interesting. 29

Mr. Hockenberger reviews methods of job application for VICP students. LA. AND AG. UNDERGO CHANGES Increasing in scope, if not in size, the Industri- al Arts Department has added considerable new equipment and has expanded the curriculum in several areas. The department is pleased with the new facilities in the welding area which in- clude. a new welding booth and electric spot welder. The printing and ceramics areas of the General Shop have also been expanded. In the near future we will have available for use a new Powermatic Planer and milling at- tachment for the South Bend Lathe purchased last year. The Agriculture department is continuing through a period of change this year with the addition of Cooperative Board teachers. Most of the students in the Ag program are young and are finding out a few of the opportunities possi- ble with Vocational-Ag and FFA. Those who are interested in Agriculture have more classes to look forward to next year and a good chance to inject some pep into the FFA activities. Mr. Fisher, one of the two Co-op Ag. teachers at PHCS, previews a film intended for his classes. 31
