Discoveries of past and present scientists help to Laboratory sciences taught Elmhurst students to think and analyze problems. Through keen observation, and theorization, science students learned to draw valid conclusions. New laboratories and modern equipment provided students with a challenging atmosphere. New editions of books supplied students with the latest scientific facts. There was a variety of science courses offered at Elmhurst. The old physics course was revised into the Physical Science Study Committee course. This PSSC course was comprised of the study of kinetics and energy velocity. Students gained knowledge by analyzing experiments. The construction of matter was the basic idea behind chem- istry. Compounds were broken down into elements. Students discovered that atoms were composed of neutrons, protrons, and electrons. Biology illustrated man ' s relationship in nature. Students learned about the human body — its bones, muscles, and all its complex parts, while they also learned about the simple one celled organisms. Using a strobosccipe and trying to retard tlie motion of a metal disk are senior, Mike Carroll and sophomore, Diane Sarles. Pointing out one student ' s insect collection, Mrs. Bleke shows Karen Ort the characteristics of the class Insecta.

make life much easier for would-be experimenters Aided by a cell battery, Sandee Hornberger, Susie Brown, Dave an- glin, and Marcia Murphy perform a physics experiment. Mr. Master- son ' s two classes used laboratory periods at various times in order to supplement their knowledge of different phases of science. Demonstrating to senior Will McMahan how to find the melting point of paradichlorobenzene (moth repellent) is Miss Decker. In order to find out about atomic structure, the students in Mr. Masterson ' s class read their textbook assignment with care.
