New equipment bolsters Jet airplanes, rockets, modern ar- chitecture, s p e e d y automobiles- where did it all begin? The answer, of course, is science. Physicists, biologists, chemists, en- gineers, technicians, and many other hundreds of scientists have brought the world to its present technological height. The place of science in the school curriculum has grown to be more and more important. In keeping up with the growing importance of science, the Washington Science Department added new lab tables to the biology rooms and equipped them with new and better microscopes this year. The new microscopes were purchased to encourage individual work and think- ing, the qualities that have enabled science to make the world what it is today. Projects were commonplace in sci- ence classes this year. Physics class- es, for example, worked on a lap counter for the Continental 500. Or- dinarily, laps have been counted by certain assigned students. An in- crease in the number of entries created a need for a more accurate counting system. scientific achievement RITA ARTERBURN and David Cuppy prepare to begin an experiment their physics class.

They learn basic fundamentals of mu- sic which they will need to know in more advanced singing groups. Creativity abounds in music, art, humanities With the wide variety of art class- es, pupils found the opportunity to use many kinds of materials and skills in a creative manner. Walking down the halls between classes or on an errand, one could notice the work of the Art Department. The ceramics classes made salad sets and wove rugs. Modern art pictures were en- tered in contests and students won much recognition for their work. In the Music Department almost all of the groups had new outfits. The Liberty Belles Wore cranberry A-line dresses with accessories. The Contin- ental Choralettes had two outfits. The instrumental music classes also had new outfits. The Continental Sym- phony wore their traditional black, the boys in blazers and the girls in brocade. All music classes had regular class meetings, and many times the groups p e r f o r m e d outside the school at hotels, restaurants, and luncheons. Humanities, a two-semester course grew in popularity this year. The classes study the related areas of philosophy, anthropology, literature, music, art, and history. The course provided a relationship of these stud- ies from prehistoric to modern man. llnllnnwnngmim Q 5 4 'DP' A FEW students in humanities, Mark Doll, Jean Springer. and Ross Cauld- well, study the history of man. -TQ
