Physics problems often demand a sense of humor as can be seen by the amused face of Mr. Thomas Muncy. Eager students fathom the depths of science Beginning a general course in physics brings many students advanced scientific principles not previously covered in basic science courses. With acting depart¬ ment head, Mr. Tom Muncy, inclusive envelopment of physics becomes one more inportant step to scientific discovery. In its fifth year of use at WHS, the interesting BSCS approach to biology is stimulated by a new biology in¬ structor, Mrs. Jean Foss. Specimens for astute exami¬ nation under a microscope assume continued careful attention from shaky tenth graders. Greenhouse facilities broaden the physical awareness of students to the world of plants. Biological specimens are discussed by Mrs. Connie Fletcher as she encourages field study to collect numerous samples. Demonstrating lab procedure activates Mr. William Gilbert. 27

Logically challenging a student answer, Mr. Michael Hamp batters away at lazy minds in order to build debating ability. Extra English reading books up leisure time Two part-time teachers added to the English staff en¬ able the other teachers to work with a greatly re¬ duced teaching load.

Mathematics Department lines up old functions on new positive slope Use of General Electric computers generates a novel avenue to the methods of the Math Department. Re¬ vising the general math program instills awareness of modern-day demands of industry and business. Emergence of an Engineering Club led by Mrs. Kidd intensifies attention of vocationally minded students. Ultramodern theories concerning numbers and their infinite possibilities yield wider horizons for advanced students that plan to consider math as a career. Continuation of the tutoring program and attendance at national conferences specifically demand extracur¬ ricular consideration of teachers. Pantomiming a Pythagorean theorem in order to stimulate under standing, Mrs. Elizabeth Carter employs instructional drama. Amusingly questioning a numeral answer, Mrs. Virginia Tucker While answer book and student answer do not always coincide, maintains an uncertain stare aimed at a faltering student. Mrs. Pat Kidd and Martha Yearout find results can be humorous. 28
