Mr. Tweston and his ecology class studied ways to preserve nature. The second floor of the Science-Library Building was a busy place. Students worked bard on experiments and projects, with chem¬ istry students constantly surprised by the out¬ come of their experiments. Physics students studied the laws of nature while those in ecology learned the use of nature, from catching fish to recognizing different types of leaves. George Sotiropoulos used his talents in dissecting a fetal pig. Physics students worked with electronic equipment. In anatomy students learned parts and functions of the body. Sciences 17
