SCIENCE CHEMISTRY Chemistry students at Senior are very fortunate in having a recently installed, modern laboratory, equipped with the best apparatus. The chemis- try course, available to juniors and seniors for two semesters, is taught by Mr. Gus Wolff, Senior High alumnus. The classroom theory work is supple- mented with many interesting experi- ments. The students work in pairs to solve experimental problems in analy- sis and synthesis, many experiments which would pose problems if per- formed in mass are done by Mr. Wolff before the class. At the end of the year, each student is required to carry out one of the projects that are listed by the instruc- tor and to hand in a detailed report on his results. Ann Murray, George LaPrelI, and Judy Schepple listen while Mr. Dolzell explains the oscilloscope. BIOLOGY Biology is offered as an elective subject in all three years at Senior. Mr. Rhys Hutchison and Mr. C. O. Johnson provide a study of living things, with their composition, their form, their functions, and their habits, with the products they produce, and their relationships to one another and to their physical environments. Di- section of frogs and worms and other small animals gives the students ex- cellent experience in the study of vertebrates and invertebrates. Mr. C. O. Johnson leads a discussion in one of his biology classes. From left to right are Dorothy Brenke, Rob Johnson, and Karl Funk. Four busy chemists, Denny Mulvehill, Shirley Specht, John Williams and Pat Granes, are working on o tough chemistry experiment. PHYSICS Physics, taught by Mr. Wil- bur Dalzell, is the science which deals with matter and energy and with p h ys i c a I changes in matter. lt is an elective subject offered to jun- iors and seniors. The seven major units in physics are mechanics, heat, sound, light, electricity, and nuclear physics. Experiments are a vital part of the course because they help the students see more clearly what they are studying.
