Janet Hiimfeld and Linda Skaggs help put the finishing touches on this mural which was used in Varren’s annual Christmas program. The mural was completed in the lower hall in order to avoid damage from carrying it downstairs.

of Curious Students Martin Fall, Danny Greene, and Frank King are sketching a graph hy symmetry in their senior math class. Courses in the ever-expanding science depart- ment are planned to meet the needs of the student preparing for a vast and diversified world that keeps changing with every passing year. Warrenites may investigate the life sciences— biology, botany, physi- ology, and zoology, or they may study physical sci- ence, physics, or chemistry. Extra incentive is offered to these students to enter science fairs and competitive scholarship tests: and the Science Club provides interesting programs for interested stu- dents. By constantly improving the science curric- ulum V arren is taking its place as a leader in local education. The math department also serves the school and community with distinction. With the current emphasis on math, students may be enrolled in two math courses during one semester, choosing from algebra, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, and advanced senior math. The department is well- equipped with visual aids which bring the field of math, commonly thought of as abstract, closer to many students. Mathematics draws its share of talent, with five of the six Warrenites receiving recognition from the Merit Scholarship program beinor enrolled in senior math. o Kathy McKinney finds it is much easier to understand her math problems with two stalwarts like Bob Simpson and •Alan Naue. Bob Koby and Bruce Maeda are helping to arrange one of the intriguing displays in the math showcase.
