ABOVE: Biology student Loren Dorman, concentrates on his experiment involving diffusion. Biology classes provided incentive for study in many areas of plant and animal life. New Content Science Department classes stimulated student interest with the addition of modern equipment and new course content in 1968 and 1969. Integrated Science, now in its third year, boasted an enrollment increase of 25 percent this year over previous years. By means of the team-teaching method, this class delved into such areas as physics, astronomy, chemistry, and oceanography. A laser beam proved a supplement to physics classes as students studied the effects of the laser beam in the modern world. Mr. Tex Clark, physics teacher, explained, There are many uses for the laser beam, but there are many uses which are, as of yet, undiscovered. 24

Classes Cover Campaign Analyzing the Ballot Box Battle of the ' 68 campaign characterized work in the Social Studies Department. Also supplementing course content, instructors expanded educational television programming and evaluated existing curriculum. Students followed the 1968 elections in their classes, helping them prepare for an ASB- sponsored mock election registering Shadle preferences for president, governor, U.S. senator, and other state officers. The results were tabulated as part of a state-wide high school ballot. Educational Television, ETV, brought candidates and the issues closer to social studies students, as well as providing current discussion material through video tape replay programs. Struggle for Peace , a National Educational Television series, was a popular program among senior classes as they studied the current world conflicts and the ensuing manuevers for peaceful solutions.

In Sciences LEFT: Giving a lecture to Physics students, Mr. Tex Clark explains about Kinematics, or the study of matter and its movements. This class consisted of lectures and lab experiments. ABOVE: Receiving assistance from Mr. George Ross with his chemistry experiment involving vapor, senior John Huff tries to determine the amount of heat in a given quantity of steam. LEFT: Laboratory experience proves invaluable in the study of chemistry. Junior Julie Steen experiments with studies in heater-vaporation, while Tammy Skubinna assists her. ABOVE: Integrated Science students study the growths of protozoa with the help of a microscope. This class employed team- teaching to give students a fuller insight into the sciences. 25
