Mr. Albert R. Clish Biology: GeneraI Physics: Science Club Mr. Ralph Libby I lead of Dept.: Chemistry; Physics Mr. Leon E. Hamel Chemistry: Class Advisor '66 Science Through the sciences, students can increase their knowledge of the world of the obvious to the realm of the obscure. Biology is that branch of science concerned with living organisms, their activities and environment. Chemistry deals with the properties and uses of matter and the changes in composition which different kinds of matter undergo. Changes which do not involve an alteration in the composition of matter arc studied in physics courses, where lessons and discoveries arc based on principles, experimentation, and logic. Planaria, frogs, acids, measuring devices, and broken equipment are all a part of classes in which students learn to experiment and observe for themselves. A good foundation in the sciences is becoming increasingly necessary for people of all occupations. Mr. William T. Cowing Chemistry Miss Marilyn Godc-Von Acsch Physics: Mathema tics Mr. Charles R.
