D. EVANS: M S.: V. PLETAN: B.S.: Mathematics 7. Mathematics. R. PRUST: B.S.; Matematics 8; Applied Mathematics. P REDLINGER: B A.; Geometry: Senior Mathematical Analysis. Develops Numerical Skills Both Miss Plctan and Mr. Prust kept their junior high students busy working on problems and taking tests. In the geometry section student project. masses of string and wired cardboard along with a little geometrical design, helped crowd the display shelves of Room 316. Besides educating their students, the members of the math department also educated themselves. Miss Barnes worked on her Masters degree at Winona State. Mr. Prust attended River Falls University to attain his Masters, and Mr. Redlin-ger worked on extra credits at the University of Iowa and St. Louis University. Promoting discussion in his class. Mr. Prust listens to the questions from his students. At the beginning of the Algebra I class. Miss Barnes helps ninth graders Phil Curruthcrs and Chuck Osborne. 21

M. HUGILL: B A.: Chairman: Algebra 1,11. L. BARNES: B.S.; Mathematics; Algebra I. Mathematics Employing the latest materials and discoveries of the computer age, the mathematics department of St. Anthony Village provided a basic understanding of the fundamental theories of mathematics. Increased student enrollment made an expansion of the math faculty necessary. Miss Pletan, in her first year at St. Anthony, taught math at the Junior High level. She became the newest member of the staff, who gave courses in Algebra, Geometry, Applied Math, and Mathematical Analysis. Explaining by example, Mr. Hugill teaches the finer aspects of algebra. Relaxing and taking down assignments, students enjoy the last bit of school before vacation. 20

The environment of the biology room makes it easier for the students to absorb their material. Experiments Aid Understanding With the ever expanding scope of modern science, the future citizens of our country must be prepared to live with some degree of understanding of the world about them. Working toward this goal, the science department presented the students with as many opportunities to experiment on their own. An excellent opportunity for students to experiment on their own and to exhibit their discoveries was the annual science fair. Any pupil was eligible to enter a project in the field of biology, earth science, chemistry, or physics. The projects were judged by a team of judges and awarded blue, red, or white ribbons. A top project was also picked from both the junior and senior high divisions and awarded a gold ribbon. This year's grand champions were Linda Seaquisl and Bruce Johnson. Producing their own results is stressed in this experiment being done by Andy Yurista and Mike Volna. 22
