science, Budding Scientists Learn Many Facts About Electricity, MAWEMAnCS Geo|ogy an(| Ec()|ogy In physical science the freshmen made a diagram of a house with the wiring to show how a house is wired. They stud- ied electrical circuits and Ohms Law. They went to Orchard Park and panned for gold. They also learned how to identify rocks and minerals. The sophomore biology class studied the phylum of insects and plants and how to classify them. On Thursday May 23 at 6:00 A.M. the school bus left for Cape Arago taking the biology class to study the marine life in the ocean and to visit the Mcnasha pulp mill to see how sulphite liquor is treated before it is dumped into the ocean to prevent pollution. Earlier in the year they work- ed on ways of producing energy from methane gas made from sewage. The chemistry class was not successful in holding continuous class sessions because of interruptions by telephone calls and teachers coming to get students out of class. At the beginning of the school year, Algebra I and II were taught in one class period by Peter Nightingale and geome- try by Kerry Quilhaugh. Then in the middle of September the school board decided to reinstate the math position and rehire the former teacher, Frankie Fedor. The freshmen were divided into three groups of math, basic, pre-algebra, and Algebra I. The sophomores con- tinued with geometry, and Algebra II was offered.

social studies. AST I Social Studies Students Explore World Problems; Art Student The world geography class studied regions in Australia, Middle East, parts of South America, and North America. These countries were picked for their importance in the news headlines. In the second semester they plunged into Self Understanding Through Occupation Education or S.U.T.O.E. They watched movies and took tests to see what career they would be interested in pursuing after graduation. The U.S. history students read the paperback book, Growing Up Black In America The book was an aid to help understand the discriminations faced by non-white Americans. American problems students broadened their outlook of life by spending six weeks reading pamphlets on different problems of American society. They also created a mock senatorial system where they made and passed laws. Art classes under the leadership of Eric Leegard learned the fine points of leather craft. They also made pottery, drew with chalk, painted, and made candles. Social Studies
