Science Classes Use Modern Laboratory Equipment Science department offers students a wide variety of courses to challenge his skills and scientific curiosity. These courses are astronomy, biology, botany, chemistry, geology, physics, and physiology. Next year a semester course of acronatuics will be added. The main change that has taken place in the science de- partment through the years has been the increasing up- to-date equipment installed. New equipment added to specific courses includes more powerful microscopes for biology class- es. mercury vapor vacuum pumps in chemistry rooms, addi- tional impscopes for physiology classes, and overhead projec- tors with visual teaching aids used by the entire department. In 1960 a greenhouse was built onto the botany room for the growth and study of plants. E-1 and E-5 were converted from regular classrooms into science rooms, one equipped with laboratory equipment and the other used as a lecture hall. Two new teachers have been added to the department to make a total of seven this year. Th esc and other facilities have kept science laboratories and courses up-to-date and interesting to students. As a re- sult. K-hall has continued to eject the ever familiar aroma of chemicals and discclions. and the sighs that express the suc- cessor failure of an experiment. Mr. Frod Amen. 8.S.. B.S.. M.S.

Art, Music, And Drama Develop Students Creativity Remembering “A” for Art led many students to A-hall and the fine arts department which includes courses in art. dra- ma. and music. Introduction to art. ceramics, sculpture, commercial art. drawing and painting, special art. drama, speech, various music classes, and humanities help develop skills in the arts and a pride in American culture. Periodieal music programs, plays and art exhibits brought recognition to the efforts and acheivements of students as well as enabling them to perform in front of an audience. They also served as entertainment for students and parents and built Southeast's reputation as having one of the best art departments in the city. Humanities, added to the fine arts curriculum in 1965, could actually be a department in itself, as it deals with histo- ry. literature, and the arts as man combined them during his development. The course is taught by a team of teachers who specialize in each of these areas. Mr. Howard A. Jacob. B.A..M.M. Humanities Department Coordinator Miss Jean langenheder. M.S.

Mathematics Pep Club Using a wooden model of a geometric ligure to demonstrate a point n Analytical Geometry class is Mr Noland Wallace Turning more and more to the trend of modern math, the mathematics department has continually renewed and re- vised its text books and method of teaching. Since the depart- ment first began teaching the modern math in 1958. algebra and geometry text books have been revised two and three times respectively. The ever changing teaching methods that accompany the modern math have sent teachers back to school. They keep up with the latest teaching techniques both by extra training and by picking it up' as they teach. Not only text books, but various geometric visual aids, overhead projectors, charts, model slide rulers, and of course, the blackboard aided in teaching and stimulating interest in all math courses. At one time or another through their high school years, students found themselves in a math class. Aimed at all high school age students of different intellectual levels, the math- ematics department includes such courses as Algebra I and II. analytic geometry, basic mathematics, business arithmetic, geometry, principals of mathematics, and trigonometry. The only course added to the department since the school's begin- ning is prineipels of mathematics. Mr. Edgar Schrocdor. B.S..M.S. Mathematics Eligibility Certification Mr. Noland A. Wallaco.
