The compound microscope enables student biologists to see minute organizms. Junior scientists verify All students interested in the scientific as¬ pects of modern living are encouraged to take one or more of the four courses in science. To get a general background and sampling of all sciences, some CPHSers take general science. Others interested in the anatomy of life learn the intricate parts of living animals through disection in biology. Junior chemists experi¬ ment with various chemicals to uncover the usefulness of modern chemistry. Physics stu¬ dents spend their days learning the princi¬ ples behind light, sound, and electricity. The future scientists get a chance to display the result of their learning at the annual Science Fair in March. Performing one of the many individual experiments in chemistry, students produce hydrogen by reduction. Page twenty-six

and mathematicians ponder world problems With the aid of a slide rule, which senior math and physics students are urged to use, senior Don Hil- debrandt solves a physics problem. Mathematician Bob Yarnell displays the geometrical figures he con¬ structed as a required project in his senior math class.
