Each Year Adds A New Pinnacle ....homecoming, class plays, the Prom. There were many of these events throughout the year that meant a lot of enjoyment for us, but they were only a small part of the time spent at school. The largest part of the time spent at school was spent in everyday happenings such as club meetings, football practice, classroom discussions, and assignments. Often we overlooked the importance of our class- room activities and the store of knowledge we gained from them. Perhaps we shall never cease to enjoy these learning experiences. Dances and parties are more for youth; learning is for a lifetime. There is no substitute for the traditional school activities and just plain fun, but we must never forget the pinnacle of our school years — education.

At School We Learned Physics... Chemistry ... Rooms 103 and 105 are the homes of the science de- partment at Carmel High School. Here students gain a gen- eral knowledge of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics with the aid of the three very capable science teachers. One hundred and fifteen sophomore Biology students worked hard on leaf and insect collections which are annual fall projects of this department. Later in the year they delved into a different phase of Biology through bi-weekly dissection of such animals as starfish, worms, and frogs. Three classes of Chemistry students began the year with a basic study of oxygen, hydrogen, and valences. This study enabled them to work more complicated equations and problems. Weekly laboratory experiments such as the preparation of gases and acids provided enjoyment plus knowledge, even though it cost the department quite a few test tubes. This year ' s class of eighteen Physics students initiated the course by a study of heat and mechanics. With the addition of a Physics chart with explanations on finer points of the course, the students gained a clearer picture and better understanding of electricity, light, and sound, which were studied the second semester.
