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.

S UDENTS USE SCIENTIFIC IDEAS Physics and Electricity were two courses which offered a challenge to Alamogordo High School students who were interested in the scientific curriculum available at AHS. Physics was a laboratory course which consisted of a study of the natural laws and principles of physics as applied to many organic materials encountered in every day life. Electricity began with a basic study of electronics and electrical equipment and later advanced to learning to service such electrical appliances as radios and televisions. The respective teachers were Mr. Ernest Grant and lVlr. Meliton Maestas. 118 Steve Meyers is hard at work along with his classmates in electricity.
