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

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.

Industrial Arts Offer Training Ed Welch here shows the necessity of wearing protec- tive glasses while working with the machinery. Jim Schweizer, Bill Bailey, Greg Kellpsh, Martin Fos- ter, Dennis Allen, and Don Saulsgiver are working with various machines in Industrial Arts. Seven areas are currently being of- fered in the Industrial Arts department. The different areas are meant to be ex- ploratory and general in nature to assist the student in seeking avenues of voca- tional or avocational pursuit. The Woods area offers the student the opportunity to learn hand tools, measuring devices, and industrial size power tools. Drafting en- compasses the different facets of mechan- ical drawing. The basic fundamentals of electricity are taught first--later in elec- tronics the use of the VOM, oscilloscope and AF-RF Generator fundamentals are learned . Metals area includes basic metal fabrication and developments along with a good understanding of the use of metal forming machinery available in the lab. The Machine Shop classes consist of the proper use of metal lathes, milling machine, radial drill pren and standard drill pren operation. The Welding area offers 5 different methods of welding pro- cesses: Acetylene, Arc, Tig, Spraypow- der and spot welding. In the Plastics area, simple forming, adhesion and work abil- ity of materials are learned along with the industrial application. Graphis Arts has been introduced to acquaint the stu- dents with the art of communications . Students are learning the relationship of hydraulics to the other areas in the In- dustrial Education Dept. Power Mechan- ics area consists of introduction to land, sea and air transportation. Later a better understanding of the powertrain, breaking system and power transmission is re- ceived by the student.
