Proving two triangles congruent, solving an equation by the quadratic formula, and finding the logarithmic solution of the right triangle are just some of the problems encountered by students taking math courses. Math is one of the most popular and inter- esting courses at S.H.S. The different math courses include geometry, the sophomore year, advanced algebra, the junior year, and trigonometry, the senior year. Besides good thinking ability, slide rules, compasses and protractors are all needed by math students in solving their assignments. Health, inside and out. 29

SCIENCE Maybe youive smelled some strange odors float- ing along in the hall or maybe you've seen one of the teachers jumping up and down on his desk or perhaps you've dissected a worm just before lunch. Chances are if any of these instances sound familiar thatis because theyire all a part of the science courses offered at SHS. In the course of a year many different projects are undertaken by the science students. Biology students may dissect worms and grasshoppers, collect and study leaves, and raise their own plants land animalsj. In chem- istry class students may be making copper sul- fate, oxygen, or metal alloys in their experiments. Mirrors, ice cubes, pulleys and calipers are just a few of the instruments used by the physics stud- ents in their quests for knowledge in studying principals and discoveries that date back as far as Archimedes and Democritus.

Mr. Coomer has facinating lecture for at least part of his class Q l'l'L6l Q OMF' Olflllfl l5t0l y HISTORY Columbus, Guttenburg, and Alexander the Great are some of the many fascinating characters that members of the sophomore Wo1'ld History classes study. The first year of history at SHS is designed to familiarize the students with World happenings up until the time of World VVar I. junior history students learn about such great Americans as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Memorizing the Preamble to the Constitu- tion and studying other such documents as the Gettysburg Address and the Declaration of Inde- pendence help students to understand better their American Heritage. Government, economics, and American problems are the history courses designed to prepare seniors to assume their duties as United States citizens. Government students learn about the history and basic principles of state and federal government. Buying and selling stocks with imaginary money is just one Way in which economics students gain val- uable knowledge in pecuniary matters. In American problems the seniors study personal and social pro- blems in learning hows to get along with others. These familiar faces seem very interesting to Mr. Heming- Wayis sophomore history students.
