Hunter in Basic Science hears from Mrs. R, Fox, instructor, who takes time to ex- plain theory to each individual student. LOBO INVESTIGATORS . . Lab Science Silits Evidence LOGIC, accuracy in observations and measurements while doing experiments, cause and effect! Words such as these science instructors used daily in their classes. To increase the student's ability to think scientifically while preparing him for further education as well as the improvement of both facilities and cur- riculum were the goals of the Depart- ment under the leadership of John l-lorn. Sophomores took required Basic Sci- ence, exploring the differences between physical and life sciences, while physics students investigated physical and nat- ural lavvs. Some analyzed chemicals and others probed cells and life itself. Field Science Club members, spon- sored by the Department, observed the natural habitat of plants and animals while gathering specimens.

MODERN TECHNIQUES . .. Math Majors Define Aouitg COMPUTER Age! New Math! Instructors, directed by Leo Utt, chairman ot the Math Department at WHS, were con- cerned about keeping up with these new, complicated methods, but they also had an obligation to those students taking not only Basic Math, but also Consumers' Math. Using the overhead protector, Basic Math Teachers instructed large groups ot Lobos as part at the team-teaching technique. Those needing assistance, however, received individual attention to help them understand problems. Instructors also saw to it that all col- lege-bound math majors took the re- quired subiects such as Algebra I, geometry, and Trigonometry. To try their hands at quick figuring, top math maiors participated in the Field Day at Occidental College. J 'll,x.. ITOP L.l BASIC MATH team, led by L. Utt, Dept. Chm, have students, M, Nielson and M. Canter warm up before settling down to hard problems. ITOP R.l KEEP your eyes on the screen, orders Geometry teacher, C. Gutierrez, to D. Watson and E. Raymond, who find the overhead protector helps their recognition of the theory of a problem. BLACKBOARD work. In Algebra, C. Olivas and G. Hatton work out equations on the black board while instructor M. Moore stands ready to correct their work. MATH EMATI CS-37
