Early in the school year, .both faculty and students were 'J J saddened by the sudden and untimely death of Mr. Joseph Riasetto, head of the Science Department for the past eleven years. The position he held was capably filled by Mrs. Leesa Gregson. A wide range of scientific classes were offered in the department this year. These included: general science, life science, physiology, chemistry, physical science and physics. Some biology and chemistry classes were accel- erated . Period Zero, composed of chemistry and physics stu- dents, made as their immediate goals many contests and competitions for scholarships, while they also engaged in frequent trips to local aviation and atomic energy plants, as well as the annual trips to California Institute of Technology, Pomona College, and the University of Redlands. Two stu- dents from biology classes attended classes at the Los An- geles Museum of Natural History.
