Tom Witten and Guy Syler perform an electrolysis experiment in chemistry class. Amateur scientists probe unknown Rotten-egg aromas, dismembered biology specimens, and weird geometric shapes fill and clutter the science rooms each year. All CPHS’prs are required to take at least two years of science courses, the first being health and safety. Sophomores have a choice between general science and biology. Students inter¬ ested in the biological sciences can and often do take the advanced biology course that is offered in summer school. Upperclassmen who are planning to major or minor in science take chemistry and physics. These courses are more difficult re¬ quiring much time and effort on the part of each student. The climax of the science department comes with the annual science fair held every March. Its main purposes are to develop student initiative and interest in science. Physicists Robbie Colyer and Arlyn Czimer demon¬ strate to the class how the sound of a tuning fork resonates through an open tube.

Mr. Georgas helps art students perfect their crafts projects. Skills of musicians and artists Culture in the form of music and art pre¬ vails throughout the school halls. Display windows in the main hall offer many color¬ ful viewings of the arts and crafts, while down in the east wing the walls tremble as the band plays on. Individual talent is sought out and developed, whether it’s daubing in oils, possessing a melodious voice, or handling a musical instrument with unusual dexterity. The music and art departments besides im- bueing students with culture and finding their talents also provides an atmosphere to school functions that would otherwise be seriously lacking. An art of a different sort offered at CPHS is mechanical and architec¬ tural drawing. These courses are vocational preparation for those interested in engineer¬ ing or architecture.
