SCIENTIFIC APPETITES IN Biology provided a springboard into science as Mr. John B. Riggs, Mr. Walter Cross, and Mr. Charles Franklin brought out inside information on the inhabitants of the earth with laboratory disscctions, and they added versatility to the course with sunny field trips. Mr. Haven jones and Mr. Douglas North oriented future Steinmetzes in beginning chemistry, while Mr. Lory Coy taught the senior physics students how the elements of the earth and the universe reacted. Through the efforts of the science teachers, direc- ted by Mr. Lee Dixon, science became an understandable reality instead of a vast realm of unknown and unexplainable phenomena.

UNRAVELED MYSTERIES The Romance languages, French and Spanish, plus the basic tongue, Latin, didn't always seem so romantic when RHS students had to memorize long vo- cabulary lists and verb conjugations. Mr. Urban Steckler's French students translated short dialogues like Around fha Mforld in Eighty Days and struggled to achieve true French accents with authentically trilled r's. A new faculty member, Mr. Edwin Low, led aspiring senors and senoritas in writing Spanish essays and translating stories. In 215, Mrs, Elsie Seagrave's room, Latin leaped alive as scholars wrote newspapers and Christmas cards in Caesar's own tongue and translated Greek and Roman myths. Foreign intrigue crept into KHS as every language student studied histories, cultures, and customs of such countries as France, Spain, and Italy. OF THEIR LANGUAGES ELSIE T. SEAGRAVE, A.
