MATHEMATICS New Class Added for Non'College Bound Studenti Mrs. Fedor, who taught algebra I and II, geometry, and trigonometry worked with the students to help them learn mathematical concepts. Consumer mathematics was added to the curriculum this year for students who needed a math credit and didn't want to take college prep courses.

ENGLISH Students Enlarge Outlook on Literature and Language Enlarging the students' outlook on literature and increasing their vocabulary was the object of the English classes, taught by Miss Barbara Brister. Word games, drills, and quizzes were used to increase vocabulary. The origin of the English and the American languages was studied, including mythology and Afro-American literature. Poetry and short stores were written to develop creativity. To develop an understanding of people, their ideas and actions, biographies and autobiographies were read. Also the students studied mass media and American humor. These classes helped the students acquire a better understanding of the development of our language and literature. Top left: Mary Ann Rauch.

SCIENCE Students Alake Alap of Powers Pond Mr. Beitel, who taught general mathematics led the students through mazes of addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication. Studying personal finance which includes budgeting, using check books, buying insurance, and buying food and clothing was also part of the course. Science classes were very exciting since the students wanted to learn about the oranisms that make up life. They knew that every experiment they did led to more scientific information. Some mishaps did happen, but from this the students learned what not to do the next time. The students did many experiments and calculations. The course included making cultures of various mixtures and comparing soil samples from various parts of the United States. The students studied the animal and plant life in the mill ponds of Powers. Eddie Wilcox and Mark Magill tested the turbidity, conductivity, oxygen content, and depth of the water, and they made an under-water map of the pond that is set aside in future plans for a park in Powers. The physical science class made a trip to the Orchard to pan for gold. They also learned how to file for a claim. Top left: Kim Morgan and Irene Hathaway doing a chemistry project.
