Susan Zimmerman proudly shows her award-winning project to George Custodi, another finalist in our Science Fair. Richard Uno, Pearce Fleming, Suzanne Ballard, and Mr. Hawkins watch as Jack Tidwell demonstrates an experiment with electricity and magnetism in physics. well-equiped laboratories. A variety of courses and the benefit of dif¬ ferent teaching methods made up for teacher replacements and inadequate laboratory equipment in the Science Department. Grove- tonites, numbering about 1060, participated in 8th Grade Science, General Science I and II, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Field trips created interest for many stu¬ dents. Miss Wood registered 135 biology stu¬ dents of Groveton ' s Science Department, who traveled by train to New York together with science classes of other area schools. A visit to the American museum and the Planetarium highlighted this trip. On February 11, thirty- five members of Mr. Hawkins ' Physics class went to Virginia Electric and Power Company, that furnished the lunch and transportation. Several students in the Science Department entered projects in the Science Fair which was held in March. There were many unusual pro¬ jects displayed and judged. One concerned the effect of radiation on frog eggs; another showed the effects of a rabbit when his pan¬ creas was removed and cells from a rat ' s pancreas were substituted. Newcomers to the Science Department at mid-term are Mr. Richard A Tylka, who received his B.S. from California State Teacher ' s College, and Mr. William F. Hough, who was awarded his A.B. from the University of North Carolina. rtrr OF ri ti oi yrrt, onont n? f o.f « y n IN Tnr l yoffo- N A . ir WATf i? Holt, ,r r 1.1 fkr V ' - - ■ ...
