Mr. H. W. Bitner explains atomic structure by use of new molecular models, to Miss Cath- erine Netzlof, Mr. Harry Gra- ham, Miss Virginia Daniels, and Mrs. Josephine Stahl, science faculty members. SCIENCE Develops New Arisiotles To Reveal Mysleriiesiy i l-JY, A.. Chem stry students examine weekly dis- plays of current studies. Whether the individual ultimately gains fame for himself by inventing a machine to add, subtract, multiply, divide and find square root, or discovers a new cure for disease depends on his ability to absorb scientific infor- mation during his four years in high school. Although freshmen are required to study general science, soon genuine interest develops in the atoms and levers. In this class pupils begin to understand the work- ings of the human body as well as an introduction to the stars and planets. Recently curious students formed a clubl to probe further questions along this line. The student then progresses to the biology room. Here an appreciation of the course introduces a study of bacteria, birds, and flowers. Microscopic work also oc- cupies part of these periods. To climax the year, the sophomores take part in a nature contest at Pittsburgh, James Fenton, first winner from Latrobe, took third prize. During the last years at school, members of chemis- try classes often find themselves overcome by the fumes of HZS. The study of physics completes the course by developing interest in light, sound, and electricity. The courses given during the four years provide the means to fit the student to live in a new scientific world. i10l 'i i l . 'xl i l al
