K. f - ,J A l b l -ft r-F' Page Twenty-Eight . 1' ,f Armfuls of weeds carried to class, a last minute search for specimens, and early hours waiting to be a lab assistant are the memories of Biology I students. Many pupils are drawn to Biology II, where sleepless nights are spent finish- ing semester projects and freezing cold must be endured on the annual field trip to the beach. Radiation Biology, originally an extracurricular activity, was so popular that now it is being offered regularly. All too familiar to chemistry students are atomic theory, acid burns, and naps caught in before-school movies. The Beaker Breakers help with make-up work, check notebooks, and aid those intent on blowing up the lab. Some pupils choose instead to take Practical Chemistry, which concentrates on mod- ern applications of chemistry. For those who do not wish to delve deeply into any particular science, Ad- vanced Science gives an interesting sur- vey of all major branches. Now being taught at Hillsborough is a new physics program prepared by top scientists. Physics classes this year had great fun using the new equipment fur- nished by the government in experi- ments such as stopping motion and esti- mating the length of a molecule.
