l.et's follow Jo as she wanders down the hall and into Miss Alma Bowen's second period plane geometry class. Here we see Pete McDonald ex- plaining the fine points of a square inscribed in a circle to Dick Tuttle, Gloria Keyes, and Jo. Other plane geometry teachers we remember are Mr. Eugene Branson and Mr. Paul T. Ulrich. Dick Tuttle, Pete McDonald, Jo Ellis, Gloria Keyes Math tau ht us concentrationg Ed Koffman, Abe Lager, .lim Vaughn, Mr. Park Solid geometry under Mr. O. T. Park contained another dimension to worry ambitious math stu- dents. While Pete seemed puzzled over a square in a circle, Mr. Park labored to describe for Ed Koffman, Abe Lager, and Jim Vaughn the appeare ance of a spherical triangle drawn on the surface of a sphere.

Alice Sutton, Phil Levitt, Bill Bruner, Dick Gazley that heralded the 6'Atomic Agea' Meanwhile, across the hall in 304, you might find Mr. Wayne L. French teaching a group of wide-eyed physics students the mysteries of atomic energy. In the picture we see Alice Sutton, Phil Levitt, Bill Bruner, and Dick Galley working some of the many problems that they find in a physics textbook. What is specific gravity? What is the speed of sound? If a cubic foot of wood weighs 40 pounds, what part of it will be submerged if the block is placed in sea water? If a rubber ball is dropped from a plane 5000 feet above the sur- face ofthe earth, how long will it take the ball to reach the ground? What are foot-pounds? What are ergs? What is a spectrum? What is an elec- trical transformer? Here, and in the physics lab next door, Mr. French taught his students the physical principles of the universe with the aid of formulae, con- stants, and hard work. Here was a course that made students think, but all the seniors who studied in 304 will remember physics as one of their most interesting courses.

Cary Higley, Jo Ellis, Jock Smoots, B. J. Adelson Period lll finds Jo learning the location of American possessions from Cary Higley in Mr. L. R. Thrailkill's course in American government. In the background we see China, India, Jack Smoots, and B. J. Adelson. Social tudies, the story 0. man Far down the hall in Mr. John Harbourt's American history sanctuary Connie Wright is look- ing for Pearl Habor, scene of American entry into the second World War. What is she pointing at? Could is be Australia? Soon Mr. Harbourt will be over to drag them back into the current discus- sion on tarifls. l Glen Marous, Connie Wright, Norma Kaplin, Bill Eisenberg
