ft m f. Chemistry attracts the interests of many Ripple pupils preparing either to be nurses or to enter some branch of science or engineer- ing. Chemistry is the science which deals with the composition of matter and energy, and the changes in composition which matter and energy undergo. Properties of Phenomena The study of physics enables a pupil to bet- ter understand the properties of everyday phenomena such as motion, work, heat, sound, light, and electricity. Mr. John E. Williams, head of the Science Department, revised the workbook used in the physics classes, with H. Clark Metcalf, Shaler High School, Glenshaw, Pennsylvania. Advanced Biologists Eight pupils are enrolled in one of Ripple ' s newest courses. Advanced Biology, now in its second year. This is a general biology course on a college level which deals with bacteri- ology, animal and plant physiology, and genetics. These courses explain and open up the world of science to advance civilization. For writing a theme on Chemistry. Larry Cohen won the local Frank B. Wade Award, a medal and the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics. Barbara Barrick, Jim P. Low ry and Eugene Hull perform a typical chemistry experiment. This one is concerned with the preparation of hydrogen by the action of sulfuric acid on zinc, and with the study of the properties of the gas. 21

W s Laboratory Projects Science Interests Inquisitive Ripplites by ERIC EIKENBERRY npHIS WAS a record year for Ripple ' s Science Department. Six hundred forty- seven pupils, more than one-third of all Rip- plites, were enrolled in physics, chemistry, biology, and advanced biology. This year ten girls enrolled in physics, w hich is more than the total throughout the past six years. Well-Equipped Labs New equipment highlighted the year. A new still for the preparation of distilled water was installed in the chemistry lab, Room 305. Also, the Advanced Biology class received a new $400 medical microscope and a small electric autoclave for sterilizing equipment. These new purchases stimulate the study of science by giving pupil s actual experience in the lab- oratory. In physics class, Nick Charles and Ron Coflfman measure the specific gravity and density of solids. Advanced Biology pupils, Carolyn Goller and Fred Freije, inoculate bacteria plants. Eric Eikenberry, senior, works on his winning science project.

Analytic Geometry ' -Mth Semester Of Math Advanced Math Includes Solid Geometry, Trig, CoWege Algebra, Math X by JOHN WATSON f f mssi! -- ,-.d«i»».aa»a »« In the Analytic Geometry class, Anne Williams, Walt Hiott, and Don Miner plot points on a peg-board. npHIS YEAR the Mathematics Department became a separate unit when the Math and Science Department was divided. At the head is Dr. Glen Vannatta. Although only one year of mathematics is required for graduation, 700 students are en- rolled in advanced math courses. For those 700 students, the Math Department offers such courses as Trigonometry, Math X and Analytic Geometry. The addition of Analytic Geometry to the curriculum gives the student the opportunity to gain mathematical knowl- edge in eleven subject areas. Math for Science The math courses offered at Ripple are not only necessary for those pupils who intend to enter fields of mathematics, but also for those who wish to become scientists. The second year of algebra, which the student may take in the sophomore year with plane geometry, is recommended for pupils taking chemistry. Trigonometry is recommended for pupils ex- pecting to study physics, and Math X is of- fered in the senior year for future engineers. Traveling Scientists Membership in the Math-Science Club is open to any pupil interested in one or both of these related fields. The club takes several field trips each year to places of scientific or mathematical interest, such as the Bell Tele- phone Company and the Butler University Ob- servatory. Several pupils entered science or math projects in the March 6 science fair sponsored by the club. Later projects were en- tered at the annual Science Fair at the Indi- ana Universitv Medical Center. Serving to stimulate interest in science was a mobile laboratory on which M r. Edward Kassig and Dr. Glen Vannatta worked at Allison ' s last summer.
