Planning Projee s girls. Chemistry enabled the naturally-curious stu- dent to explore the science field with a series of unplanned explosions of odd-smelling gases. The Physics class, taken usually by seniors, helped the students to delve more deeply into this field of science. Radiation Science students used radio- active materials to further their scientific knowledge. This year the science problem offered the chance for all students to obtain a well-rounded basic study of a vast field. The interesting courses made this study fun as well as educational. A new experi- ence such as a first hand display of scientific wonders by a traveling demonstrator was one of the high- lights of the year. ADVANCED PHYSICS students use this Triode demon- strator to plot curves. New Rf-J 'N-...- k 'N-s, 1 as - 1 ,S Q, is ,ff if n at IS JOHN HOPKINS holding hands with a skeleton?

'TJPN xx HWILL IT EXPLODE? asks Sue Hennagin of Janice Gedikian, Beverly Aaron, and Mr. David Bogie, Chemistry I instructor. Scientific Parkers Science students at HP are busier than ever this year. New classes and equipment are two good rea- sons for this. Physiology and Geology offered something new and different for good science students. Physiology, the study of the human body, was complex and offered a good experience for Parkers who wished to continue their education in college. Geology is the study of rocks and their formation, and many students were interested in this class. In the standard curriculum were Biology, Chem- istry, Science, Physics, and Radiation Science. Many exciting things happen in Biology, where a ferocious animal like a mouse or frog may slip out of his closely-guarded cage into a classroom of frightened CHEMISTRY STUDENTS use this new analytical balance to chart weights and balances. ANDREW LIPSEY, Clifford Bates, Donna Hicks, Donald Wells, June Chaffin, and Elaine Grogan are exploring the constellations of the world as part of their early science program. 20
