M ' =- K ' Juniors Sharon Wratten and Susie Williams work on an exper ment testing the reaction of sulfur when heat is applied to it. Junior Tom Hunt adds a sulfur c ompound to his test tube during Mr. T. J. Barnes eighth period chemistry class. New chemistry, physics lab equipment added to Students having chemistry and physics were the first to use the new equipment purchased for the science department. An entirely new lab was in- stalled during the summer. For the first time sophomores who had taken bi- ology their freshman year were allowed to take chemistry if they had maintained a B average in biology. Mr. Leonard Robey, a new teacher at MHS, guided physics students in gaining a basic knowl- edge of the mysteries of the universe. General science and biology classes kept small animals and fish which they observed during the year. Miss Woodsmall ' s students had white mice and hamsters while there were tropical fish in Mr. Cooksey ' s general science room. Mr. Cooksey ' s second hour general science class became interested in smoking and performed an experiment to find its effect upon the body. Using a beaker as a substitute for the lungs they could observe how the smoker inhales large amounts of smoke and how much nicotine is produced from just one cigarette. Another biology teacher, Mr. J. B. Brown, joined the science department faculty. As in past years bi- ology classes spent time dissecting worms, cray- fish, grasshoppers, frogs, and fetal pigs.
