Do you have a skeleton in your closet? Mrs. Andrews does! A curious student decides to try it on for size. Student horticulturists carry out assignments in Cody's green house as they prune, transplant, and study many varieties of unusual plant life. The miniature world of wonder unfolds under the powerful lens of the microscope . . . The smell of formaldehyde filled the room as a biology student studies the anatomy of the earthworm.

A world of bottles all shapes and sizes opens a vast universe of experimentation to Chemistry I students What each contains IS something which Mr Morrison knows and they must find out ssjflldlellffi QXIQ 0l 2 LUOIJJ 0 5CL2l'lC2 Living in a world which now places the accent on nuclear energy and conquering the vast horizons of the universe, science students learned to meet this world and test the hypothesis that science is a means of solving everyday problems and improving human life. Exploring lifels span of existence and the living things of nature, student biologists and horticulturists were introduced to basic principles of science in everyday life. They experimented with live frogs, worms, and unusual plant life to further their understanding of natural science. Cody's future scientists majored in chemistry and physics to open new doorways to scientific knowledge. Experimenting in the laboratory with elements combined under various conditions offered the observant chemist an insight into the chemical and physical reactions that change our earth. Amateur physicists spent hours involved in problems dealing with light and electricity. The principles of magnetism and accountability for the conservation of mass and energy developed minds to a higher degree of scientific intelligence. These things demonstrated today's concept of science as a method of new discovery and enabled students to recognize the fact that they are a part of this never- ending phenomena - the world of science.

Cody's future homemakers and workers in industry had the opportunity to get specialized training through a vocational program of education. Food classes learned more than just how to cook. Students mastered the art of setting an attractive table and planning menus with color, taste, and appetite appeal. Sewing students learned to make their own clothes, and more advanced sewing classes had a hand in creating original costumes for Shake- speare's Taming of the Shrew. Co-eds learned the fine points of homemaking and nursing in classes of family living and child care, while future interior decorators tried their hand at designing modern decors. Shop apprentices were directed along specific vocational interests. The introduction of a new textbook gave student draftsmen the advantage of leaming more about design and advanced drafting techniques. A special machine for manufacturing drills offered shop students special training in industrial skills. Eleven Ford Industrial Art Awards won by Cody students proved that several semesters of vocational training and study rewarded their accomplishments. One hundred six
