Under the direction of Mr. Bianco and Mr. Musko, sixty sophs explored heredity, chromosomes, genes, and the DNA molecules. The remaining sophomores studied the usual biology course. Chemistry students managed to produce their share of minor explosions and broken glassware. They covered such topics as chemical equilibrium and atomic structure. The slide rules of Physics students were kept well oc- cupied with the computations involved in the study of thermo-dynamics and the electromagnetic spectrum. Chemistry-Physics II was offered, for the first time this year, for those who survived 'LChem-Phys. If, These courses were designed to give the Arts majors two sciences.
