Dyer Central High School is keeping pace with the times in preparing graduates to take their places in the scientific world of today. World Affairs Emphasize . WoUYf 1-4? STUDYING STRUCTURE AND CHARACTERISTICS of animals is a favorite part of the biology course. During the year students bring in many specimens including ham- sters, salamanders, frogs, fish, hawks, and bats. Mr. Under- wood is demonstrating the wing spread of the bat as he talks about its nocturnal activities. JIM RIESE, FRANK PEPKOWSKI, MIKE DE- LINCK, AND BILL WADDINGTON watch the amusing antics of hamsters which have been brought to physical sci- S ence class by students. X jk - 28 -

. . Importance of Science PRINCIPLE OF THE LEV- ER, effect of friction and ac- celeration on falling bodies, and mechanical advantage of the inclined plane are part of the physics course of study. Rae Marie Anderson, Sherry Keil- man, Jackie Shofroth, and Earl Ciaglia watch intently as Mr. Kerns demonstrates an inclin- ed plane. EXPERIMENTS PERFORM- ED IN CHEMISTRY CLASS include making oxygen and hy- drogen, producing crystals, comparing acids and bases, and bending glass tubes as Paul Grummer and Frank Keilman are doing in this picture.
