CHEMISTRY TEACHER WALTER HAVERKAMP DEMONSTRATES the correct procedure in on experiment to his students. Robert Black Heads New Department Reorganized to produce more ef- ficient instruction in all the sciences, the Physical Science Department and Biology Department this year com- bined into one department headed by Robert L. Black. Advanced Biology pupils mated fruit flies to examine the genetic changes of generations of off- spring, while other pupils literally dug into their fetal pigs. More pro- jectuals, including vivid drawings of cell mitosis and meiosis, were added to the library of transparencies for the new overhead projectors. The Physics division of the department received new sets of books and new instru- ments. Physics students learned to operate the refraction plate for the ripple tank as well as an exploder to study the momentum changes in an explosion. DIGGING DEEPER AND DEEPER, Laura Gilpin diligently searches for her Biology specimen.

The band, directed by Leonard Behling, performed at such functions as the Sweatermen ' s concert and Junior Vaudeville. Music Men, twenty-seven male voices, instills rhythm in the spectators.
