Teachers At Work Preparing for the chemistry class, Mr. Downs checks equip- ment. Mr. Ogletree checks to see that Greg is typing okay. Striving to prov ide a logical and precise picture of science, the science department stressed theories, models, and generalizations that show the unity of science. In Mr. Morris's class of general science, the students were busy dissecting pigs and various other ani- mals. Mr. Morris's extracurricular activities consisted of coaching basket- ball and track, and of being a senior class sponsor. Mr. Downs, also a senior class sponsor, taught biology , chemistry and physics. He kept his students busy by dissecting animals in biology, ex- perimenting in chemistry, and solving problems in physics. The main aims of the Math depart- ment were to prepare students for living successfully in our modern scientific world and to give a basis for a techno- logical career. Mr. Parks was kept busy teaching Algebra I and II, and Geome- try. Mr. Downs was involved in the Math department as the teacher of General Math. Whether a student plans for a ca- reer or for college after high school graduation, he will find that some of his most valuable courses are those in the business education department. General education should include the understanding of all aspects of life. If it fails to do so, it does not achieve its purpose. Coach Ogletree taught business law, typing I and II, shorthand, book- keeping and business math. Mr. Ogle- tree's extracurricular activities in- cluded coaching basketball, football and being a sophomore class sponsor. ACTUALLY, it's very simple, says Mr. Parks.

Seniors gain knowledge as Mrs. Davidson explains THE MERCHANT OF VENICE. Defining new words is a part of Mrs. Chenoweth's daily English assignments. Mrs. Davidson and Mrs. Chenoweth of the English department worked to prepare students for college and future jobs. Besides their regular grammar studies, students de- veloped skills in composition by writing everything from single paragraphs to short stories. In literature as well as grammar, spelling, creative writing, and correct usage were stressed. Mrs. Chenoweth taught English I and English II. She directed the senior play and was sponsor of Y-Teen's. Mrs. Davidson sponsored the annual staff, taught English I, English III and English IV. The new speech curriculum aims were to teach students how to organize learning, how to use reason in making their own discoveries and how to present their ideas in a pleasing and convincing way. Mr. Howard taught speech, debate, dramatics and directed the Junior play. Mrs. Fiss taught Spanish I and Spanish II, which is essential in today's small world as contacts arc being made daily with for- eign speaking people.
