Students Learn Math by Participating The Mathematics Department is convinced that a student learns best through participation, stated Mr. Wayne Eacker, department head. Math teachers therefore tried to get students interested in class involvement. Overhead projectors greatly facilitated such student participation. Now standard equipment in all math rooms, teachers and students constantly used the overhead to convey their thinking to classes. Mr. Eacker stresses the fact that teachers encouraged students to pursue math on through the advanced course because mathematics plays such an important role in our rapidly changing world. It also helps the student think problems through, a skill which may help in later life. LEFT: Math comes a little too early in the morning for senior Karen Somerville. She yawns as she listens to her teacher describe the properties of complete ordered systems in her intermediate math class. 26

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
