y Scientific Stud The Science department is designed to provide each student with a basic back- ground in general science . The Physical Science course prepares the student for Chemistry and other science classes. Biology I and II specializes in the study of living organisms. Chemistry and Phy- sics offer advanced studies for those students planning to further their educa- tion after high school. A new requirement has been added this year in the Chemistry and Physics classes. Each student is required to wear protective glasses for the purpose of in- creasing safety while working with chem- icals in the laboratory. Is Achieved Debbie Young and Carleen Micheals are examining a specimen through a microscope. Dick Wright is inserting a slide to study its character- istics through a microscope. Bob Speece, Roger Harmon, and Dale Amor are con- ducting an investigation in the lab. Coleen Evon is busily studying a slide for an experi- ment in Biology I.

Language Lab Aids Studying The Foreign Language department of- fers a choice of two subjects--French and German. The well-equipped language laboratory has enabled the students to hear the language they're studying as spoken by native people. This is possible through the use of tapes and records which can be heard by individual sets of earphones. This department is under the direction of Mr. Herb Gerke. German IV student, Jan Fryar, listens to a tape to aid her in understanding what she reads. French I students read along with their books in re- sponse to the questions heard on a tape. Sally Grieger and Donna Crites point out the spot in Germany they are presently studying. 23

New’ Math Provides College Prep Mrs. Kalb explains new math to Fred Hundt and Glenn Schlundt in the Algebra I class. Alan Deardorff, Diana Cunningham and Jerry Bennett listen attentively as Mrs. Kalb explains an Algebra problem. College-bound students are offered a variety of courses in the Math department. As a freshman, a student may take either Algebra I or General Math. In his re- maining years of high school, he may take Geometry, Algebra II, and Senior Math as electives. The completion of any of these will benefit the student who is start- ing in a vocation as well as those planning to attend college. On March 12, the junior and senior math students participated in the Annual High School Mathematics Examination. The purpose of this was to stimulate in- terest in mathematics and in fields requir- ing a background in math. Tom Satoski works with a compass and protractor in Mrs. Roeglin's Geometry class. 25
