The tools of a trade. MATH DEPARTMENT Prove the square root of two is irrational, The length of line AC is ..., and A tetrahedron is a . . . are words which at first baffle S.H.S. math students. Later, while in deep thought, they suddenly see the answer. In sophomore geometry classes we construct tri- angles, circles, hexagons, and other polygons while learn- ing the basic concepts of geometry. In advanced algebra juniors solve complicated equations by factoring, using . . . to ICEISOII, . . . 1sx1y6+iez-3-44x2z6y4J'5+15Q:95o the quadratic formula, and completing the square. Seniors in advanced mathematics study trigonometry, solid geo-A metry, and analytic geometry. All courses study the rec- tangular coordinate system,which relates geometry and algebra. The math student who never goes farther than high school math will always use the reasoning processes and methods of problem solving he learned in these courses. For the others who will later enter fields of science or engineering, these courses are the basis of their vocations. .1 'Y 0 I7 y 7 7 L L , N. A A VA Elk 1 A 3 A L 47 tg Y?

SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Weird sounds, strange smells, a teacher's throwing balls at students, and the insides of a frog help make science strange and fascinating to S.H.S. biology, chem- istry, and physics students. Biology classes study plant and animal life by col- lecting and classifying leaves, catching grasshoppers, dissecting crayfish, and raising our own plants and animals. Chemistry students study the properties of the elements, perfonn experiments, and determine chemi- cal equations and formulas. With pulleys, ice cubes, prisms, dry cells, and Oscilloscopes, we study light, sound electricity, nuclear reactions, heat, and energy in physics classes. ftisssrixsizzgi.. naar Lose: f7eaejs.'ne4 T Jaw, Q34 L 09 7:Jiv,f,y . 6, may .7 ' 54 Di-'L .90 lim' 0'Jq37m Ile El3'3lB 5 I ,A , 66:21, 46 ff -:g,f1'a44-,zlgdf Energy :Q Q YU O o -fy 4 .ffl7' rid D A physics students dream.

. . to converse, just show me the way to Paris. Latin has many fomms. FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT As the world population grows, the abilities to com- municate and to understand one another becomes in- creasingly important. S.H.S. offers three foreign langu- ages - French, Spanish, and Latin - to aid students in living in a crowded world. Besides learning the meanings, pronunciations, and correct grammatical forms of many strange words, stu- dents study the history and culture of the people who speak the language they are studying. French students watch closely the political happenings in France, while Latin students read ancient Greek and Roman myths. Spanish students must give reports on famous Spanish artists, authors, and musicians. p m0'5 JS' O 5 'a2-,LS easing Bffla 5111 6 66676 Oo 6554 , You what?
