cianaz Whether it be in laboratory or darkroom, behind a hoe or peering into a microscope, our ambitious students pre- pare to take their places in tomorrow's scientific world. With the coming of the Atomic Age more and more students have turned to the fascinating,subjects of chemistry and physics. Mr. Karnes: Unless you are a lover of dish washing, bewarel, don't venture into room l32 chewing gum, Mr. Bell: Whether on a football field or dissecting a worm, he feels quite at home. Mr. Doody: Goes quietly about his daily tasks, saying little and thinking much. Cathryn Schaefer: Finds time to advise the 5.5.5. girls besides teaching students elementary science. Christine Sawyer: Our nurse when in need is a friend indeed. ' ln General Science the students were exposed to a little Biology when they dissected worms in class. Some girls got a little jittery, but they continued and found that worms had ten hearts. Our courses in science are offering us more general knowledge every year.
