laboratories exude aromatic atmosphere Jtilizing the three science labs for biol- ogy, chemistry, and physics, students got their chance to experiment. New to the fac- ulty this year, Mr. Joseph Akridge kept the freshmen busy in the physics lab teaching the basics of earth science and physical sci- ence which were semester courses. The biology lab was inhabited by Mr. Kevin Brever along with assorted other species of the animal kingdom. The smell of formaldehyde often touched the nostrils of all the tenants of the third floor classrooms on a day when dissection was taking place. The sophomores were introduced to biology through a course called life science and the juniors occupied the lab for a second year biology course. Speaking of stench, the second floor deni- zens were not to be far from the unpleasant odors of the chemistry lab for there, smack dab in the middle of the south wing, was Miss Diane Vance and her sophomore chem- istry classes. It seemed her favorite experi- ment had to do with sulphur which gave off a smell reminiscent of rotten eggs. The bottom floor was the only floor spared the strange aromas of experimenta- tion for the physical sciences dealt mostly with concrete objects. Advanced college credit physics was the only senior science course offered this year and it was taught during the sixth period by Miss Vance, the science and math department chairman, at a time when most seniors were already gone for the day.

Miss Ann Howard admires Dan Schmitt ' s work. She teaches all Art classes. An fof art ' s sake | he art department was a one- woman show this year, meaning that Miss Ann Howard was our only art ist-i n-resi- dence. Miss Howard had the art room brim- ming over this year with various arts and crafts projects and paintings of all kinds. Her Art I and Art 1 1 courses were planned and worked out on an independence basis, with each student working on projects related to his particular interests and talent. All were grateful to the department when their works would be displayed in the cafeteria brightening up the place for awhile. They even got offers from faculty members to purchase some of the objects d ' art but many students declined, preferring to take them home to their families or girl friends.

Miss Diane Vance helps David Lally and Frank Hayden with a test for salt content in boiling water in the chemistry lab. One of the most interesting courses of the math department was the junior statistics course taught by Mr. Bill Young according to some juniors. It was a difficult course but the students seemed to really learn a lot. AN of the freshmen took algebra or ele- mentary algebra under the guidance of Mr. Larry Clem and Mr. Michael Egan. The soph- omores either took a second dose of algebra or a geometry course from Fr. Caskey. The juniors were involved in either the statistics course or an elective course in drafting. Drafting was also offered to se- niors. If one could ever take a peek into the drafting room one could see the students busily bending over the boards, drawing their blueprints under the watchful eye of Mr. Bill Young. Tft MR.
