Ushering in the space age, it has placed a new emphasis on scientific education in America. Puyallups budding scientists began their career in general science There they skimmed lightly over such sub lects as sound weather and the stars under the instruction of John Durr Duane Kaiser and Mike Mowrer Advancing to biology the science students were intro duced to such things as phylums metamorphorsis pepsln, and the Obelia Labs ranged from observing a protozoa through a microscope to disecting unborn baby pigs under the watchful eyes of the biology teachers John Durr and Sterling Harshman Both Mr Durr and Mr Harshman served as sophomore class advisers and Mr Harshman coached the varsity track team and the football B squad Mn plus O yields MnO was lust the beginning in chemistry class and soon oxidation reduction the rotten egg odor of hydrogen sulfide frantic repeated attempts to produce oxygen within the required margin of error and original science fair prolects lthis year student chairman was Mickey Millerl became an ordinary part of the would be chemists lite Don Henry the chemistry instructor advised the Future Teachers of America and the Smoking Committee, coached the tennis team and also taught a consumers math class this year The study of physics delved deeper into the technical mysteries ot weather light sound and power The laws of nature that man has harnessed to do his bidding provide limitless opportunities to improve mans life Physics teacher Ray Prevost also taught an algebra class and a radio class in which the boys actually made their own radio sets Mr Prevost was a sophomore class adviser and the rifle team adviser SCIENCE TEACHERS John Durr Ray Prevost Sterling Harshman Don Henry 1 I I V I I I- . . . . - I I D . . .

MATH STRESSES THOUGHT 2C8x3 l22Jdx 'P Confusing? Dont worry this problem is from the college math class the most advanced mathe matics taught in PHS Basic math an extension of eighth grade work prepares many of the freshmen for higher mathematics This course is taught by Art Larsen X+y seems to symbolize algebra the world over but in some combinations they can be quite challenging to the student Roots radicals ratio and graphs are all important parts of this course taught by Ray Prevost Louis Owens Don Wilson and Dean Nicholson Mr Nicholson coached the varsity basketball team the baseball team and ninth grade football Geometry the next step up the ladder of mathematics brings lines that are at all pomts the same distance apart and intersecting lines that form equal vertical angles Memorizmg theorems solving problems on the board and constructing geometric designs and mobiles for Christmas decorations are all included in Miss Mariam Clevelands c ass A semester of advanced algebra contmues with more roots more radicals and more graphs also introducing the student to the slide rule and logarithms X I All points equally distant from a certain point lie an a sphere not a circle Thats the difference between plane and solid geometry The semester following advanced algebra the mathematics students find themselves dealing in three dimensional geometry cubes not squares spheres not circles Don Wilson, who taught the course, also advised M.- the Viking Kmghts and the freshman class College math features the mathematics a student is PLANE GEOMETRY STUDENT Lee Kessler explains a geometry drawing on the blackboard calculus analytical geometry and college algebra Glen Crum the instructor was also in charge of visual education and advised the senior class He could tell you that the answer to the above problem is two Puyallup also offers a math course to those who are not planmng to go to college consumers math under the in struction of Don Henry and Ray Barnes This course is designed to review all math through the eighth grade in creasmg in speed and accuracy It also mcludes a large amount of mathematics from the busmess world such as budgets stocks taxes discounts and loans OLID GEOMETRY STUDENTS Don Knight and Mary McCallum examine a three dimensional figure MATH TEACHERS Glen Crum Don Wilson Mariam Cleveland and Dean Nicholson 8 - I ' I ' . . , I .
