Taking an interest in science proved to be almost mandatory to understand our modern so- ciety. North High has been widely recognized for its top-notch Science Department, headed by Mr. C. A. Brown. Our many winners in the Westing- house Talent Search were just another proof that the Science Department can produce the scientists of tomorrow. Mr. Stonotf Biology Viking Hi-Y Leon Rawlings recorded experimental data pertaining to a chemistry project While Mary Heide and Gilbert Blanco lighted a Bunson burner in order to heat chemicals for the experiment.

Counselors were invaluable in aiding and directing students toward the realization of their individual needs and objectives. Mr. W. D. Roche and his staff helped freshmen and transfer students, and administered various tests which assisted in placing pupils in the correct group. Counselors were placed among the students' best and wisest friends. Their sound advice helped North students understand how important school was, and why education was imperative to become an active member of adult so- ciety. College catalogues were found in the Guidance Office, and the counselors arranged for representatives from vari- ous colleges to visit our campus and talk to seniors about any specific problems regarding their school. Mr. Harry West assisted students to decide on school courses and Mrs denburg helped students plan sthedules and vocations after graduating from high school. interpret various test results

Individual Projects Aided Development of Initiative An understanding of many phases of science had to be acquired before specializing in one par- ticular field. North High students took advantage of the variety of courses offered, ranging from general science to physics. Physical and chemical properties of the earth and relation between mat- ter and energy were studied, and students learned of the changes which matter and energy under- went. Laboratory work was emphasized to enable students to understand and visualize what the testbooks were discussing, and experiments gave students the chance to observe various scientific principles. Science Seminar, open to seniors planning to follow a scientific career, stressed individual proj- ects, which were entered in the Westinghouse Talent Search during the school yaer. Working with weights and balances to determine percentage o oxygen were seniors Suzie Polacek and jeff Cornoyer.
