Don't be alarmed-that's just a Senior Composition stu- dent imitating a supersonic ray gun. He wrote his term paper on the wonders of outer-space and has become quite an expert on science fiction. VVriting a term paper was not the only thing done in Comp classes. There were the usual book reports to be given and themes to he written. ln addition, there were lessons on vocabulary and the parts of grammar. Although Composition is a part of the English Department, it is required only in the Academic Course.

Supervised by Mr. Haven jones and Mr. Douglas North, chemistry students in liolcomo High School learn to produce hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. By using valanecs and the atomic theory, chemistry students xvorlt together to balance equations and learn to use a chemical shorthandU in the laboratory.

Lory Coy, these stu- dents study the bases ot' all scientific knowledge. Among the many experiments, watching electricity jump gaps and measuring the force of a .22 calibur bullet stand out in the minds of physics students. Although no liinsteins have emerged from the labs of lillS, many young men and women have gained a valuable kninvledge of science. and have opened their minds to new helds of opportunity. Ronnie Meyer. Phil Reynolds, Bill Patterson, George Franklin, and Don Rivers construct, examine. and calculate the practical ap- plications of a system of pulleys used in the tield of modern science.
