Catching scholars, upper left, in varied moods during a change of periods, the camera finds that students arc in the majority at DE. Judging from the number of books that each man is carrying, it seems as though these men will have muscle-bound arms as well as keen minds. From left to right in the picture we see Dave Kauth. Tom O'Connor, Jerry Swintek, Jim Ordner, Dick Benson, Tom Newin-ski, Mike Rourkc, Tom McGinty, Jerry Noack, and Mike Gibbs, as they hurry down the stairs. Sines, curves, and angles may sound like baseball double-talk, but in reality they arc standard lingo in the trigonometry class. At the upper right, Paul Feran seems to be puzzled, and well he might be, for he is trying to solve the problem on the board by the Law of Sines.” This usually stumps all the students, and even keeps Brother hopping. Below, Commissar Marty Campion keeps close w-atch on top scientist Larry Hegdahl as he experiments with the new hydrogen bomb. Assistants Jack Scholz and Walt Shoemaker check the mathematical figures of the reactions. Although resembling a basement in the Kremlin, this is the chemistry lab and the harmless experiment of collecting chlorine. In the chemistry laboratory the students work fascinating experiments, in which they succeed in ruining their trousers and shirts, creating offensive odors, and in general making quite a mess of everything.
