lVIath and Science Departments Offer Surveying Through the combined efforts of the math and science departments, surveying was offered as part of the advanced science program. IVlr. Carl Baughman, math department chairman, taught the unit in late spring, so that field trips could enrich classroom study. ln addition to surveying, five weeks were spent on each of the following units: evolution, biochemis- try, astronomy, crystology, and paleontology. The pur- pose ofthe advanced science course was to provide apt science students with a variety of experience in science which they might not otherwise encounter. During the second semester, a series of science seminars dealing with such topics as computers, arti- ficial intelligence and the quantum theory were of- fered to Mitchell students. The seminars were con- ducted by Dr. Blade, professor of physics at the Colo- rado University extension, and were open to C group students. The course was conducted on a pass-fail basis with minimal testing. Shi 4--wnvunnu- n-K Jim Vegh listens as another student poses a question during his computer class.
