1. Math students pose for the camera. 2. It takes concentration for this math student 3. Mr, Hanson derives the right answer. 4. Students get to write on the board just kko teacher! Lee Covart Stan DeFreese Hubert Hanson Br an Kispert Once again, an effort was made to find the most interesting thing that occured in the Math Department. However, this year the attempt met with failure One event that was new was that Mr. Leary was back after having been on sabbatical. Although the math students welcomed his return, after one of his tests his new Acc. Math 12 students declined to talk about it. Another change was that for the first time, sophomores had to pass a Basic Mathematical Skills Test before entering the high school. Previously, students didn’t have to have any math at RHS. But this year, those students who didn’t pass each section of the test had to take a no-credit Basic Math class until they could pass the section they had failed. Remember sophomores, 1 + 1 = 2, not 3! Mathemat»cs 31

In sophomore biology, students learned about cells, genetics, and changes in life. Juniors and seniors had the chance to learn more about their biological selves if they took Anatomy and Physiology. For some reason, not all were pleased with what they discovered. Chemistry was offered in three levels: General, College Prep, and General College Chemistry. Students who took chemistry learned about moles, equilibrium, and chemical reactions. The students’ reactions were generally favorable to this area of science. General, Project, and PSSC were the three levels of physics offered. Topics studied included Newton’s Laws, momentum, and radiation. Many of the students themselves radiated energy as they studied this course. 32 Sconce
