CONTINENTAL CLASSROOM TV Course in Atomic Age Physics The 22 viemhers of College High ' s TV physics class struggled hard to shake off drowsiness and to concen- trate on the tough 6:30 a.m. college course. Each of the 160 lessons then entailed lengthy homework assign- ments. In order to be in school each day before the sunrise, most students organized car-pools. Attendance wa good in spite of long distances and adverse weather. Dr. Harvey E. White, instructor of the nation-wide course and V ice-Chairman of the Department of Physics at the University of California in Berkeley, is shown here in the New York studio working with pendulums. Dr. White later honored the College High senior class by delivering the commencement address. Mr. George F. Placek, College High chemistry and physics teacher, is shown taking notes on a lesson in the NBC studio. These, together with special in- formation supplied by Continental Classroom ,- were duplicated and distributed to students to lessen somewhat the need for note-taking during the lessons. Mrs. Dorothy Culbertson, producer of Continental Classroom for NBC, was presented with an honorary membership scroll in the College High class. Dr. White received a similar scroll. Mr. Placek, seniors Andie Wright and Bill Drinkuth, and NBC Public Relations Director Edward Stanley look on. Mrs. Culbertson ' s son, Xandi, is wearing his College High sweater.
