New Science Rooms Were Activated DURING THEIR BIOLOGY II class, Oscar Ortegon, Carol Oldfield, and Yvonne Kasper observed one- celled animals under the microscope. THE NEW PHYSICS ROOM provided the place and the equipment for Tom Melton and Tom Orange to solve a physics problem. BOYS in Mr. Waite’s General Science class grouped around the sink while the principle of water pressure was demonstrated by fellow classmates. Brought into use in 1961-62 were two new science rooms, built with the newest wing of the school. The Science Department also acquired such new equipment as analytical balances, air pumps, and PH meters as a result of an $8,000 matching government grant. MR. WELTY AND his physics students talked over their homework.

. . . And There Were Electives Too! Among the courses offered to students at Tech, there were electives to choose from which were both enjoyable and educational. Students chose these classes in hopes of explor- ing different and new fields of learning. IF STUDENTS NEEDED extra time for homework, it was possible for them to have a study hall. MR. ROBINSON, band instructor, gave instructions to Thomas Hatfield, sousaphone player. WHILE IN VISUAL AIDS, Guy Eveland, Larry Trzupek, and Larry Henning learned to operate the opaque projector. MUSIC FORMS of various compositions were discussed in Miss Hartigan’s Music Appreciation class by, left to right, Webber, Freetz, Sobkowicz, Werner, Raschke, Miss Hartigan.
