Freshmen intently watch a science experiment performed in one of the three new science classrooms at Quincy High School. Mr. Orin Chalker, in- structor, is demonstrating changes in electrical current conducted through different metals immersed in solution. A course in science and a course in mathematics (either general math or algebra) were required of all fresh- men in Quincy Community Schools in 1961-62. In addition, science elec- tives offered in later high school class years included biology, physics, and chemistry. Elective math courses were advanced algebra, geometry, and trigonometry-solid geometry. Rapid changes in modjern society offer challenges in the mathematics- science areas particularly. Emphases in these courses were on problem- solving techniques and scientific method as well as upon specific in- formation and practical application. In addition to these courses, these three teachers were also partially responsible for the 14 junior high school mathematics and science sec- tions. Science an f Jltai i MR. ORIN CHALKER, A. B.. M.

The Freshman Class was guided through their frist year in senior high by Mr. Orin Chalker, Mr. Martin Crabill, Mrs. Nancy Maxson and Miss Grace Vaugnan. One of the privileges that begins in the class is to be represented on the King and Queen’s Court in Homecoming. They were proudly re- presented by Marianne Hughes and Tom Puckett. The class was remembered for winning first place with their skit in the Homecoming assem- bly and third place in the competition for the pep jug.

Their lockers were in the old building, but the lockers were all new. The magazine drive followed the excitement of moving into the new high school. The class of '65 didn't fare too badly as they came in third place. Things calmed down a little after this, and they settled down for a 13 day Christmas vacation as did the rest of the school. After semester exams the freshmen looked forward with anticipation to their traditional Bunny Hop, which was to be held in the com- mons area. All in all the freshmen, after participating in all these senior high activities proved to be just as ambitious and as enthusiastic as their up- perclassmen.
