Science classes open different areas of investigation The sciences are applicable working courses, students discovered, as tfiey per- iormed experiments in science laboratories. Biology, physics, physical science, and chemistry wer e offered again this year. Physical science continues to grow in popularity. While there were no major changes in the physics classes this year, plans next year include the instruction of the slide rule and going into some areas in greater depth, while eliminating others. This should make the course more relaxed. Mr. Hewins stresses a point in one of his biology classes. Miss Maloney willingly assists two students during a chennistry experiment.

students continue to be intrigued by math problems Math students continued this year to be intrigued by the different math courses offered at Roosevelt. For those for whom the intrigue became a little too deep, a mathematics laboratory was available. When a student was falling behind or becoming confused he was given the opportunity to receive greater individual help and guidance in the lab. Mr. Whitlatch returned to Roosevelt after a few year ' s absence. Algebra, two levels of geometry, data processing, and college math were the main courses offered this year. Attentive students listen as Mr. Anderson ex- plains two ways to divide by a fraction. Mr. Cummings flashes a bit of his humor, which has become a well-known part of the Roosevelt math system.

Language classes, fine arts department participate in various projects This year Roosevelt ' s language classes participated in many interesting projects to supplement the traditional classwork. Many language students were also involved in the four language clubs at Roosevelt: Latin, German, Spanish, and French. Senor Luis Nunez ' s third year Span- ish class topped off their study of Latin American Culture with a Bolivian meal. The nneal was prepared by Roosevelt senior Agnes Borzo and Joanna Mont- gomery from Tech. Four issues of a paper entitled Car- amba were published by Senor Nunez ' s fifth year class. The paper, written entirely in Spanish, included editorials, current event articles about Roosevelt, riddles, and crossword puz- zles. Each page was edited by a differ- ent class member, with Senor Nunez serving as cover illustrator. The fourth year French class publish- ed a paper called Le Bavardage . For those who don ' t speak French, the title translated means ' gossip ' . The fourth year class also sang every Friday with piano accompaniment. On the day before the Christmas Holidays the Spanish and French classes combined each period for a song fest. For well-known songs, such as Silent Night , the French and Spanish groups each sang the song in their language and then all sang the last verse together in English. Mr. Gary Thelen joined the language department as a French teacher second semester, replacing Mrs. Dargitz. He sponsored the French club formed second semester. i Mary Ranniger interviews Carol Coco, who portrays Bernando O ' Higgins, during an oral presentation in Senor Luis Nunez ' s third year Spanish class. Mr. Gary Thelen, new at Roosevelt second semester, obviously enjoys teaching his second year French slass very much.
