Fruitflie Traits The Science Department of¬ fered a new course, Cell Biology, which dealt with the study of the cell. Aided by the use of au¬ dio visual materials, students learned the vital functions and makeup of the typical cell. Long term projects involved genetics, the study of heredity and how the traits are passed from one generation to another. Students experimented with fruit flies and raised corn, tobacco, sorghum, and soybean plants. The genetic makeup of the irradiated radish seeds and various plants were also abserved. Laboratory work was stressed in regular biology and B.S.C.S., as students experimented with ex¬ amples of the many facets in this field. Anatomy students worked with dissected animals, learning the names and functions of mus¬ cles and bones in the body. SENIORS Janice Morariu and Doris Bellamy test Hooke’s law by perform¬ ing experiment in physics class. 24

DEMONSTRATING PROPER technique for anesthetization of Drasophila melen- gaster to Joanna Moser and Lisa Elliot, Mr. Micheal Kobe discusses new sci¬ entific advances. Junior Physicists groped the two fundamental concepts, mat¬ ter and energy, as they studied the effects of electricity, light, sound, and balancing forces. Accelerated Chemistry offered gifted sophomores an opportun¬ ity to explore ingredience of mat¬ ter. With emphasis on laboratory experiments, young chemists probed into the elementary atom¬ ic theory, chemical bonds, the kenetic theory, and quantitive relationship. Observed In Cyntology Course HEALTH and SAFETY students pay close attention to Mr. Paul Brush’s demonstration of the origin and inser¬ tion of various muscles. Science ... 25
