SCIENCE, SlUllY Hilll Though atoms are not split nor nuclear reactions studied in the laboratories of the Everett High School Science Department, stu- dents may gain a fundamental understanding of scientific principles by actual experimentation as well as book work. Future experts on the atomic bomb and rocket propulsion may today be mixing simple Compounds in the chemistry lab, or plotting the field of a magnet to complete a physics experiment. Besides physics and chemistry, classes in biology, botany and psychology are offered those interested in living organisms, plant life, and the mechanics of the mind, respectively.
