P. Hess experiments with sound devices with the help of B. Schacht. T. Stott, and B. Landis. L. Arnold aids M. Rose feed mice in biology lab. Scientific exhibits enlighten Russian people. CAN WE MEET THE Sputnik, Salk vaccine, giant computers. Atlas missiles, tracer elements, and atomic ships arc words which were unknown a few years ago hut are now in common use. The advanced technologies of the United States and Russia have inspired progressive strides in science. Because of international tensions, an emphasis on science education has emerged from Soviet accomplishments. An example of this in Lansdowne'Aldan High School is the plan which has been discussed for re modeling the science department. Physics students Examining a cross'section of a root are B. Gerhardt. J. Way. and G. Clemstine in biology class. Ten

The class listens attentively as Mrs. Edwards explains the effect of rotating angles. SOVIET SCIENTIFIC CHALLENGE were encouraged to work on such projects as cloud chambers and computers. Chemistry students worked in laboratories each week in which they explored the properties of oxy- gen and sulfur, the reactions of acids and bases, and the process of oxidation and reduction. Each student carried out his own experiments in these areas. Biology has been made more challenging to stu' dents by providing animals for dissection. Extra work was done in many project areas such as the making of slides and the controlled raising of plants In all science courses work was constantly enlarged and improved upon. A mathematics mobile is examined by L. Lawton. M Baldasarre, J. Elliot. A scientific principle is explained by Mr. I. RanJ{ to L. Hobbs. B. Reed, and G. Finburg. The internal functions of the human body interest J. Bailey and B. Aliens in their study of physiology. Mr. X. helps biology students. C. Metz- ger. B. Mason, and D. Harding to learn about the body.
