Dissected frogs in biology seemed rather pleasing to Diana Focht, Ken Clark and John Boye. Interest Was Also Noted in Frogs, Proving himself to be an enjoyable friend to Kathy Johnsen and Sandy Janike was the skeleton—valuable in physiology. :

After Jim Kubert announced his oxygen discovery, Dick Schmidt calmly took the notes for chemistry. Poof! exclaimed Mike Barton to Bob Basoco. Experiments performed in the double chemistry class not always produced the proper results. With Human S keleton, Pet of Physiology. Physiology, the science dealing with the functions of the human body, was added to the curriculum this year. A physiology student typed blood, us¬ ed a stethoscope and tried to spell and manipulate a sphygmomanometer. In elementary chemistry valence, elements and theories were discussed along with laboratory experiments which added sparks, fumes and know¬ ledge. Upon passing a college exami¬ nation, double chemistry students gained six hours of college credit. Crayfish, earthworms, grasshop¬ pers and frogs were pierced by prob¬ ing biology students. Physics also served as a stimulus for Knights aspir¬ ing to become leading scientists. Steady hands and a clear mind were needed by Greg Hedberg and Tom Alexander as they tested specific gravity of solids for physics.

Geometry assignments were fun if one enjoyed creating designs. Rulers and compasses aided Glenn McComb in constructing his figuration. Slide Rules and Equations Involving X ' s. X ' s were squared, divided and equated in second-year algebra as un¬ known quantities become known. With a large demonstration slide rule plus smaller slide rules for indi¬ vidual usage, trigonometry students were better equipped to compare the sides and angles of triangles. While trigonometry students dealt mainly Acquiring mechanics of a slide rule was with right triangles, geometry pupils made simpler for trig students Nancy Eag- r , i 1 er and Bob Degenhardt by a huge guide. gave proofs to problems Concerning circles and many-sided figures. Algebra was not always easy but Robb Cole started to catch on after Kay Christiansen began to explain it step by step to him.
