Science Probes Deep into Oxygen is in the making as Jenny Bogan and Jerry Bogen perform their experiment. Dan Edwards' chemistry experiment seems about to explode into a grin. After a year's vacation Biology was once again offered in CC's curriculum. But this year's stu- dents were confronted with a completely new type of study called the Biological Science Curriculum Study in which lab work is stressed. This enables the student to test the idea studied in the text and to gain a working knowledge of scientific inquiry. General Science, which was introduced for the first time inthe 1963-64 school year, is a prepara- tion and orientation for further sciences offered at CC. Each General Science student along with all other science students is required to submit an entry in the annual School Science Fair. Adding to the scientific knowledge of juniors and seniors this year was Chemistry, which by definition is the science dealing with the structure and composition of materials and the change in composition which these materials undergo. A weekly session in lab provides the Chemistry stu- dents with an outlet for their growing knowledge of the science. Taught by Sister Mary Gaspar, the Physics stu- dentswatched many exciting as well as educational experiments and studied the various forces of the earth. 26

Busy Hands Make Happy Hearts In order to have a project this year in Home Economics that was decorative, challenging, reusable, and enjoyable, the girls went together and came up with ideas on making centerpieces. Using many varieties of materials, combining ideas, and experimenting with techniques both at home and school, the students attained remarkable and rewarding results. This project not only showed creative and artistic skills, but proved that it isn't expensive to make one's home attractive through small accessories such as centerpieces. The main project of the freshmen was making blouses in which they took great pride, while the older girls emphasizedbaking, withpastries, pies, and special cupcakes for Halloween. And the highlight for the seniors was their competi- tion on the first of December in the Betty Crocker Contest. l. 'Ng -.
