Boyden O. Atwood Patricia R. Blanton Janet M. Burgess Science Experiments Lead To Greater Learning A student could just name an interest and he would be sure to find it or some aspect of it in science. The amaz- ing discoveries by men in the past reveal unbelievable possibilities for the future. The modern laboratory facili- ties of the school permitted students to learn through ex- periments. All experiments were supervised by the in- structors of the courses to insure complete safety. The science department offered courses such as physics, biolo- gy, chemistry, general science, and senior science. Mr. Lewis Coffey distributes report cards to anxious students most of whom anticipate their g rade before seeing it. 28 Linda Trivette studies a slide under one of the new microscopes given to the biology department during the year.

Steve Masten asks Mrs. Bryant of the Northwestern Bank pertinent questions regarding the cost of travelers cheques. The Business Education Department helped many stu- dents decide on careers in business. They did so by offer- ing courses in bookkeeping, typing, office practice, short- hand, and business math. The teachers stressed speed, ac- curacy and neatness. All this was done in order to devel- op a good background for future secretaries and businessmen. The department also proved beneficial to many college-bound students interested in majoring in business. They took the above courses for pre-college training and to gain experience. The Northwestern Bank guide finds an attentive audience in Craig Min- cey, Randy Vines, and Mrs. Auten, the bookkeeping teacher. Painiviie 30 - a is P Linda Welch, Lona Stevens, Betty Wheeler, Mary Watson, Eva Mae Potter, and Glenda Brown complete assignments in business. Mr. Garland of the Northwestern Bank shows Bookkeeping I students Don Adams and Craig Mincey the physical aspects of the bank.
