SCIENCE Work of the Science Department was furthered this year with the addition of new equipment and seven new labs. Along with the biology, chemistry and physics labs is the new planetarium, with complete facilities for the study of astronomy. Students taking biology were able to work on the many projects done in the greenhouse. The seven faculty members of the department, that had two new instructors, was headed by Miss Catherine Netzlof. The teachers strived to further the knowledge of the students and to increase their interest in the many fields of science. With one of the school's new laboratories and its equipment in the foreground, lVlr. Harold Bitner explains chemical bonding and valences to junior members of his chemistry class.
