Will Dne Day Conquer Outer Space Nuclear experimentation and the principles of rocket launching both rest firmly on a framework of physics and mathematics. To take our place in the world that will someday be ours, we must be well grounded in these two fields. Physics took us into the lab more frequently than any of the other sciences that we had taken. The experimenta- tion was more individual and independent. We worked hard on projects for the annual New York State science fair, as did all the science classes. The work we did this year in Math 12 was an introduc- tion to more advanced work in such areas as permutations, combinations, and probability, Solid Geometry is a particular challenge in these days when everyone is interested in conquering space. Center Right: Made- leine Pezzula, Joseph Lizzi, Mary Doyle, and Daniel Mayer work a problem in geometric progressions. Bottom: Mary Keenan, Teofils Turlais, Alan Baumes, John Nettleton, and Carol Francis test weights for accuracy before starting an ex- periment in Physics.
