Doods and Mr. Dixon that paves the way for more difficult scientific studies in future years. Tenth graders have a choice of biology or hio-ag. During the course of the year. Mr, Zook instructs the bio-ag students in planting a garden hox and in doing simple landscaping. Mr. Little provides an intensive study of the plant and aniinal king- doms lor the sophomore biology students and starts the senior hiology class in the fundamentals of psychology. Chemistry and physics classes, under the direction ol Klr. Conler. conduct experi- ments in which the students actively participate. XYith all these fine courses available, no student should leave Shaler without a good basic knowl- edge in science. 16

CQ,-AN SQLVE urtls PRQBLEMS Continuing to develop the fundamental knowl- edge of mathematics, the seventh grade math course also introduces dccimals to the students. In eighth grade the mathematics course acquaints students with the use ol formulas, and gives necessary background for algebra or general math in the ninth grade. Reviewing of math funda- Ben Norbom explains to Mike Zunic his method of proving that triangle ABC is isoceles, mentals and training for vocations are offered by the freshman general math course. In Algebra I students are taught how to apply the fundamen- tals of arithmetic to algebra. Radicals, equations, roots, and graphs all 'become familiar terms to algebra students. For the tenth grade academic students plane geometry is offered. The calculation of unknown dimensions of plane figures is done by groups of students at the board. The commercial and general sophomore students take business math for the first semester and general business training for the second semester. Algebra III reviews Alge- bra I before introducing much new material. -Iunior and senior commercial students are taught bookkeeping I and II while academic seniors are kept busy with pre-college math, solid geometry, and trigonometry.
