Many students continued in the mathematics field throughout high school, after having completed their one unit of math required to graduate. Courses in this department included Algebra I. Algebra II. Geometry. Analytics, Trigonometry. Principles of Math. Analytical Geometry, and Calculus and Analytics. Calculus and Analytics was the most advanced math course offered, with 15 students enrolled in this year course. Nine teachers and approximately 1400 students made up the mathematics department this year. Two new math teachers. Mrs. Opal Moran and Mr. Jimmie Moreland, were added to the faculty, replacing Mr. Robert Herdt. who had previously taught algebra and geometry classes.

Courses in this field were Astronomy, Aeronautics, Biology, Chemistry, A.P. Chemistry. Geology, Physiology, and Physics. A.P. Chemistry was introduced this year and taught by Mr. Neil Miller. This course had previously been taught several years ago, however, it was discontinued when the teacher left Southeast. According to Mr. Miller, A.P. Chemistry taught the students to make their own discoveries, instead of telling the students what the outcome of their experiments were supposed to be. This advanced course was set on the college level and 25 students participated in it this year. New equipment added to the department included a transparent globe, kymograph, which is a rotating graph instrument, and a Plant Study Center with an accessory kit, used to grow plants in artificial light. Mrs. Lucille Rader, a new faculty member, taught biology, as well as German. 24 ABOVE. Seniors Paul Schowalter and Larry Chorn conduci an experiment in A.P. Chemistry. BELOW.

pupils apply skills in industrial arts “To better understand industry” and to learn how to become a better buyer and consumer were the main objec- tives of the Industrial Arts Program, according to Mr. Ralph Schaude, department head. The Industrial Arts Department included various courses in mechanical drawing, pre-engineering, auto information, auto mechanics, drivers’ education, general metals, plastics, and woodworking. Numerous projects involved the design- ing of architecture and machine drawing, and constructing everything from tables and bookcases to stereo and televi- sion cabinets. In Auto Mechanics, students learned how to repair engine systems, transmissions, and brakes, and they then applied their knowledge by working on their own cars, after they had acquired the knowledge necessary in class. Students attended the class for two hours a day. which was taught by Mr. Bill Lantz. Junior Charles Stowel! concentrates on some plans in the pre-engineering class.
