Math And Science Computer Concepts The Math and Science departments chal- lenged students by traditional teaching methods and new exciting ideas into scientific inquiry. Through an upgraded laboratory pro- gram the department received a long await- ed shot in the arm which helped to beef up these investigative studies. The Math depart- ment this year continued its climb to excel- lence by offering computer expertise to grades K-12. One aim of the department is to interface the computer with scientific instru- ments to enhance both science and math skills. It is hoped that the bonds between these two studies will grow stronger. 1. Mr. Ingino and Ren6e Feeler working on a chemistry problem. 2. Mr. Burton and Keith Stiles showing the students how to work out a geometry problem. 26 — Math And Science

Social Studies History Studies The American Government class was intro- duced to local government by attending school board meetings and city hall meetings. A strong emphasis was placed for all eighteen year olds to register to vote. History students worked on many projects including a photo- graphic social history on Lake Hill as an early resort and later a speedway. Cathy Moffatt, Toni Early and Craig Dairymple won the local history day competitions and went on to com- pete in the state finals. Social Studies — 27
