PHYSICS — Under the watchful eye of Mr. Senderak physics stu- dents toiled industriously at one of his tests. Science in Hobart High was divided into two categories: elementary and advanced. Biology was the first step in the science curriculum. All students were required to take this class in their sophomore year at Hobart. Biology, the study of life, devotes the students’ studies to the fundamentals of plants and animals. The students learned the characteristics, reproduction, and commercial usage of both. A period of dissection was in- cluded in the second semester activities. Second year biology explored a more detailed study of animal life; from the lowest protozoa to the human animal. The second year students used microscopes in the study of the lower animals. Chemistry was the next step. The Chemistry student learned the essentials of Science: Atom structures, valences, and chemical mixtures are studied. Students also performed experiments and demonstrations concerning chemical re- actions. Physics was the last step at Hobart. This was the most advanced of the courses. Physics combined Physical Science with Math in the form of different formulas and equations. The students learned about types of matter, the many forces of nature which act upon this matter, and how this matter reacted. The curriculum at Hobart High School required only one year of science to graduate but many students went on to study a science course every year. With the addition of the new wing to the high school the biology classes gained a new room along with new equipment. The equipment consisted of new high and low power microscopes, tables, and other necessary facilities to promote the study of science. Ever Changing , Challenging Field of Science Became CHEMISTRY — Water displacement was the subject of a lab experiment performed by Jeff Pence and Jim Boatright as Mr. Hamman advised them. 26
