PHGTO SYNTHESIS D MOLARITY Chemistry and biology courses offered at Alamogordo lligh School presented a challenge to students. The courses were especially beneficial for students who faced a future with careers in science or medicine. Chemistry was a laboratory course which covered the study of matter-its composition and the changes it undergoes. During the two semesters students learned many skills in the laboratory. Chemistry was developed for the serious and educationally minded student. Biology was a study of living organisms, cells, insects, animals, and plants. Biology students used the laboratory frequently primarily for dissections. Through dissec- tions the students learned the physical make- up of many organisms. Students in lVlr. Hammondis Hour 1 Biology class, Spence DeLanoy, Charles Frazier, Steve Malone, and Ronald Mitchell, are learning to use micro- scopes for researching organisms.
