PHYSICS: A major change in this year ' s Jun¬ ior Physics class was the concentration on theoret¬ ical rather than applied labs. The topics covered this year were force, mo¬ tion, atomic theory, heat, wave motion, light, and electricity. Seven students took Physics, which was three less than the previous year. Mr. Temple explains a lab to Curt Stantz. CHEMISTRY: The first part of the Senior Chemistry class consisted of lecture and book study. This was followed by lab¬ oratory practice in chem¬ ical procedure and analy¬ sis. The highlight of the year was when each chemistry student re¬ ceived a bottle of twelve unknown substances of which they had to find ten by chemical analys¬ is. Six students took Chemistry this year.
