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.

Trains For College And ADVANCED HISTORY Advanced history is in its sixth year at Shelbyville High. Mr. Ray Hinshaw taught two classes again this year, having forty-two students. Their work consisted of term papers, essay tests, special reports, and larger units of work. Outside reading was required and more detailed study was needed in addition to studying the text and workbook which are used in the regular second semester of the junior year. Mr. Emerson Bass's grade book seems to have opposing effects on Marty Miller and Gretchen Westerfield.
