Science Students Work Very Hard in Lab Physics students spend many class periods working in the lab and writing up their lab reports. Physics students did experiments on Theories on Sound, Light, and Simple Machines to name a few of their many projects. After an experiment is completed the students then write up a lab report over what they saw and what hap- pened during the course of the experiment. In the Chemistry department the students have studied such things as the Molar Volume of a Gas or the Titration of an Acid and a Hydroxide. Also the students learned how to successfully use a slide rule, which is very helpful throughout the year. In Biology the students studied an- imals, their classification and dissection, the relation- ship of air and earth, and the plant kingdom.

Business and Home Ec Gain More Classes Mr. Richard Ciemny and Mrs. Peggy Lenherr teach the business classes at WHS. Mrs. Lenherr teaches Typing I and Shorthand I and II classes. Mr. Ciemny teaches Typing II, bookkeeping, office practice, general busi- ness, and applied business. Several students in applied business worked for Wamego businessmen during class- time this year. The students involved were pleased with the experience received during the experiment. The Home Economics department does not offer cour- ses only for high school girls. Several classes of Mrs. Edna Doperalski and Mrs. Myma Eisenbeis, home eco- nomics teachers, prove this point. For example, there are now a Boy's Home Ec, Home Ec Seminar, and Family Living classes available. Also the ordinary home economics classes have undergone many changes. In short, the home economics department now has something for everyone. ABOVE LEFT: Julie Owens, senior, receives some experience in an- swering the telephone during office practice.

New Techniques Started in Art Department Art students completed many creative and very nice looking art projects. There are four art classes: Archi- tecture, Introductory Art and Survey, General Crafts, and Drawing, Painting, and Graphics. In Architecture, the students lay out housing ideas and build a scale model. Introductory Art and Survey is a half semester course which introduces the students to art, the back- ground of art, and many famous artists. Introductory Art and Survey also teaches the fundamentals of basic art, drawing, painting, lettering, and sculpting. In General Crafts the students learn to make many different things. In Drawing, Painting, and Graphics the students con- tinue to learn how to improve their drawing, painting, and graphic skiUs. Girl's Physical Education class ac- complished many skills throughout this year. The girls have participated in Swimming, Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Badminton, Gymnastics and Archery. Freshman girls' Physical Education classes met fifth hour and Advanced Girls Physical Education met sixth hour.
