 HOW TO BALANCE Students in Mr. Hanson's chemistry class performed many interesting experiments in their study of zinc. They learned new formulas, the method of handling liquids for experiment, and the way to use necessary instruments. Philip Nicolosi (left) is shown proparing the liquids needed for an experiment with zinc, while James Schlaf adjusts tho Bunsen burner to heat the zinc, in the crucible cup, and Grace Meenen takes notes on the results of their work. Algebra III classes spend some timo in studying the slide rule, which multiplies, divides, and calculates roots accurately. When a student has learned to manipulate this instrument, ho should be able to work difficult probloms rapidly. In the picture Honry Broquist, a member of Miss Vincent's Algebra III class, is manipulating a large model slide rule while Rogor Johnson (left). Gordon Logan, Karl Bio-tau, Daryll Forbes, and Dale Bruckner check with their smaller ones. Students may work on the Library Board during their study periods if they so desire. Each semester Miss Davis, librarian, has about forty people to help her perform such duties as taking admits, writing fines, charging books in and out, placing reserves, checking mail and keeping tabulation of all kinds of books which are borrowed. Seen performing their various duties are Bernard Hudson (left), Fred Loomer, Betty Putney and Joe Buscomi.
