Science interests In Mr. Dew’.s Physics class, Lee Conano and Kevin Miller do an experi ' nient on the Specific Gravity of Liquids. Science, the neon sign of today and the glow¬ ing promise of tomorrow, was widely repre¬ sented through courses in geophysical science, biology, chemistry-, and physics. To meet the demands of the scientific world, the department offered students excellent equipment and well- versed instructors. A definite highlight in the physics course was the February 15 field trip to the VEPCO Power Plant at Possum Point, where the 52 participants from Groveton and Lee High Schools were shown and the fundamental operations of the plant. Great interest was aroused by a field trip to the Philadelphia Planatarium, and competi¬ tive spirit ran high as members entered projects in the Science Fair on March 7.
