SCIENCE Leon Haaland, Carl Pearson, Harold Strobel, Meyers Peterson, Mrs. Signs Swanson, Stanford Strand, Anthony Angellar For science is like virtue, its own exceeding great retcard. Many different scientific areas are explored by Southwest students. Physics, chemistry, and biology are offered in addition to seventh and eighth grade science. In all phases of science, advancements in teaching methods are rapidly taking place. This year a new program of chemistry was introduced at our school. The program is the Chemical Education Material Study, which is better known as CHEM Study. This is the same type of program as BSCS Biology, which has been offered since 1963. 'Hie material helps students assimilate concepts rather than factual material. The science department hopes to add a similar program for physics students in the near future.

Every student is going to need some form of math in his life. At Southwest, the math department emphasizes learning the basic skills in the seventh and eighth grades. Beginning in the ninth grade, students may choose from several elective courses. Algebra, geometry, and trigonometry are offered to prepare students for their life work. As an additional stimulus for math students, the Arrow publishes a column called THIMK which includes many mathematical brain teasers. Southwest math teachers are looking forward to the future, as they select new materials for next year’s math program.

HOME ECONOMICS Miss Anne Gaderlund, Mrs. Ardella Maxfield, Mrs. Alice Lewis. The strength of a nation is in the intelligent and uell-ordered homes of the people. The Southwest home economics department strives to prepare girls not only in the fundamental skills of cooking, sewing, and child care, hut also in related areas such as personal grooming and home management. Homemaking education is offered every year to both junior and senior high girls. Those who choose to take home economics in the senior high work on home and class projects which reflect individual interests. The department hopes that its curriculum will establish lasting values and skills that will give more meaning to students' personal lives. ANNE GADERLUND Clothing! Foods, Y-Tecns Advisor.
