USING THE OVERHEAD, Dave McCreery explained a problem in Plane Geometry to the class while Mrs. Bruno listened with interest. MR. DUDO observed as Joe Camaioni computed the square root of a number in Math Analysis. To Be Stimulating and Intriguing WORKING PROBLEMS at the board is a big task in Geometry class, especially when the assignment was longer than expected. Here the class compares their problems to those being done by Helen Gingerella, Nick Dereta, Chuck Mehno, and Mike Todd. ..,,,m it , . is L- 5 ' 'ii- I L' K ' Sswsiww SQL. 3 fi X im .,,,,,...--'P'- ,,,,,,s,.,,..-w-Q--- 29

. . - is .:,. his it I Q3 P PRECISE WEIGHINGS are essential for accurate experimental results. Mr. Dominici shows proper procedure to Patti Eichler. of SCIENCE A major goal for Western Beaver science students is to develop the ability to reason through carefully planned laboratory problems and ex- periments. This capability enables them to view new problems ob- jectively and to think critically in the solution of these problems. Recently an addition was built to the high school building. Part of this addition contains a Physics- General Science room and an Earth-Space Science complex with a large room for lectures and lab- oratory work, a room for weather observation and forecasting, and a planetarium. Course offerings were increased this year with the implementation of Meteorology and Astronomy. In addition, the department oders General and Earth-Space Science, Biology, Lab Biology, Academic, General, and Lab Chemistry, and Physics. Mr. George Mastrovich is department chairman. - .NYS BUTTERFLY COLLECTIONS are only one of the many annual projects prepared by the Advanced Biology students. Mr. Hromanik explains one to sophomores Louis Poff and John Nola. NEW PLANETARIUM facilities are frequently visited by other classes. However, they were designed primarily to aid the astronomy classes which are taught by Mr. Mastrovich. 31 is-5.
