All year long the students of these departments occupied them- selves with efforts toward disproving the Pathagorean Theorem, Newton's three laws of motion, and the theory of atomic structure. Along with these problems, students were faced with the task of learning material from text books, lab manuals, math tables, dic- tionaries, crib sheets, and last year's students' experiment write- ups. Generally, students weren't overly successful in either en- deavor. ln his clean white lab apron lfashioned somewhat like o mechan- ic's cover-allsl, Mr. Hague attempted many experiments during the long, long year, and he probably will go on attempting in the years to come. Mr. Walker thoroughly enioyed dissecting worms, frogs, and other small, defenseless creatures-he's quite a cut-up. 'Mn-Fones is-a lover of music, and to supplement his wages as a teacher, he is in the process of composing an album entitled, Guitar Music to do Math By. This album will contain such tunes as: The Theme From Algebra One, Reciprocal Refrain, Logari- thms to the Base e, Trigonometry Tango, Refresher Math Rock, Cosine Can-Can, Binomial Blues, and the What You Do To One Side Of The Equation You Must Do To The Other Cha-Cha-Cha. xi Q , Y X , MR. WALKER PARTICULARLY enioyed the mid-morning break for the opportunity to indulge in the sheer bliss of three-day-old coffee drunk from stained and dirty mugs. The roving Log photographer found, however, that Mr. Biology, on one such occasion, was not too cautious in his preparation, and instead of grabbing hold of the coffee pot, accidentally filled his cup with carbolic acid. The result of this dis- astrous error is shown quite vividly in the picture at right.

BRUCE JENSEN Agricultural Science Department Head The faculty of the Agriculture Department is divided, as Mr. Tomasevich and Mr. Sheesley spend their day in the shops in the remote corner of the campus across the creek, while Mr. Jensen and Mr. Law- horn put in their day's work at the school farm, even more removed from home. Because of this lack of contact with the maiority of students we can only report on the individual mannerisms and characteris- tics of these men from what we have overheard ag maiors saying 'during the break and noon hour. iOn second thought, we decided against that approach.l The agriculture course follows a coordinated four- year program which starts with the traditional text books and classroom activities. After this introduc- tion to functional operations and methods, students begin to work directly with crops and animals - observation, care, experimentations, etc. Students are also afforded the opportunity of getting an in- side view of animal husbandry through dissection. The final phase of the program is carried out at the farm, where senior students really get down to earth in their studies. , wir' if'-nuuuuwiv' ROBERT TOMASEVICH Agricultural Mechanics and Science General Agriculture 162' ,nite GENE SHEESLEY Agricultural Mechanics and Science ,.-' Ui ' W ,t... la lfl i i i S s ...Q ,. .
