Three green thumbs are better than onel The study of mathematics and science develops clear and logical reasoning in S.H.S. students, besides adding to their store of knowledge. The math courses include geometry, taught by Mr. Ray Beck, Mr. William McFerran, and Mr. J. M. McKeandg algebra, taught by Mr. McFerran, Mr. McKeand, and Mr. Lawrence Thompsong and trigonometry and calculus taught by Mr. McKeand. The classroom activity consists of explaining and discussing by word, gesture, sketch, and model the principles of mathematics. Required for college preparatory students, math teaches a systematic approach to problem solving which is helpful even in unrelated situations. Science courses familiarize students with the mysteries of nature and develop in them an understanding of the physical world. Biology is the study of plant and animal life and is required for sophomores. Films and special projects aid learn- ing. Mr. Arthur Barnett, Mr. Stephen Sever, and Mr. Gamett Winchester directed this course. Chemistry classes studied the elements, performed experi- ments in class, solved problems and wrote equations, with the guidance of Mr. Thompson, teacher. Physics, taught by Mr. McFerran, views the world as matter and energy, and includes the study of machines, nuclear reactions, electricity, and light. VVriting lab reports and working problems supple- mented the activities of doing experiments and reading assignments.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The accounts of Sir Lancelot and the Knights of the Round Table served as one of the outstanding works studied by the sophomore literature classes taught by Mr. Louis Kuhn, Mr. Jack Nieff, and Mrs. Dorothy Plymate. junior literature classes began their study of American literature with the founding of the Plymouth Colony, went on through New England's Golden Day, and concluded with the modern authors, such as, Carl Sandburg and Robert Frost. These classes were in- structed by Miss Marion Chenoweth, Mr. Alan Coyner, Mr. Daniel Kocher, and Mrs. Clarine NVebster. Fair is foul and foul is fair became a familiar phrase to the seniors who studied Macbeth in their English literature classes instructed by Mrs. Clarine VVebster. Several other plays written by Shakespeare were assigned as outside reading. Miss Chenoweth directed her senior grammar students in the art of writing grammatically correct themes with interesting content. Mr. Kocheris beginning speech class students learned the skills of convincing, informative, and often demon- strative speeches. Those in the advanced class also learned the fundamentals of dramatics. Under the direction of Mr. Nieff, the developmental Paul Ioseph is convincing the beginning speech class that he is right. reading students increased their rate of reading and also their comprehension through the use of films, workbooks, and shadowscopes in the reading lab.
