New classes include Physiology and Anatomy taught by Don Powers. I want my students to understand and appreciate the living world around themg to really understand the intricacies of the human body and how truly miraculous it isf' Mr. Powers said.

Through technology, develop- ments have brought harder con- cepts such as trigonometry. elementary analysis and calculus.

'tlt's a challenge, but as long as I keep up and follow along, it comes pretty easy for me, Beverly Betik, senior, said. She is taking calculus. Every day new developments are breaking in the world of science and mathematics. The effect of these courses can be recognized in the advances that have been made and the stu- dents over the efforts to keep up. P . Ag 2 K 'f:f g f s , g A M 'P ,:' X is ii ' V . .

The students were en- rolled in art or mechanical draw- ing. The art department had a few special projects this year. All art students participated in the yearly PTA project. Students expressed their feelings in draw- ings with the theme From l.iberty's View. A school-wide logo contest was also held. This contest was to develop a suitable logo to use on school business forms other school related stationary. I had some really good stu- dents. They are all cooperative and work very hard on every- thing. Everyone was friendly and fun to work with, Judi Ray, art teacher, said. The art classes took a field trip in the spring to tour the bigger art galleries in Dallas and Fort Worth. This trip Mechanical drawing is the language of industry. The idea of mechanical drawing is to let stu- dents know if they are interested in it, William Miller said. PERSPECTIVE DRAWING Students drew pictures of the hall to improve their perspective. Practicing their skills are Shellie McCasland, sophomoreg Cassidy Stewart, freshmang Joe Guerrero, juniorg Judi Ray, art teacherg Jeff Springer, junior and Brian James, freshman. helped them in studying famous artist and their works. Teaching art is not like a v regular job. -lt is fun and very enjoyable. Overall, my classes did very well. l really enjoyed teaching them, Miss Ray said. ln mechanical drawing, stu- dents learned skills to use later in other fields of work. There were two classes of mechanical drawing: general drafting and advanced drafting. General drafting students worked on their basic skills. Later, they used these skills in advanced drafting. The advanced class had spec- ial projects. There were to draw up a complete set of house plans. Before doing this, they toured houses being built in dif- ferent stages of building. This helped them in their own house plans. 'iThe idea of mechanical draw- ing is to let students know if they are interested in it, Mr. Miller said. Then they can select a vocation that uses mechanical drawing skill. DEMONSTRATION In mechanical draw- ing, drawings must be very precise. William Miller, mechanical drawing teacher, explains his drawing to Steve Wilson, juniorg Chuck Weaver, senior: Lance Chisholm, junior, Brad Norman, junior, Pat Hernandez, senior and David Crider, junior, i'
