New Eqnfiponent Expands Science Depafrtonent With the addition of new textbooks, the science department improved itself immensely. The Holt- Rinehart series was chosen. The laboratory received a few new microscopes and a set of parasitology slides, which were desperately needed. Other new equipment which was obtained from the allowed funds for the science department were some new cases of dropping bottles. The biology, chemistry, and physics classes, as well as the general science class, absorbed knowledge not only through classroom study, but also as a result of field trips. Students went to Chicago to the Mu- seum of Science and Industry, the Aquarium, the Field Museum and Planetarium, to Delco Remy and Guide Lamp research laboratories, to Brockway Glass and to the Shortridge High School Science Department. l 22 Senior Dave Huffman refers to his physics book in search of an an swer to Mr. Farrell's question. Freshman Jack McDavid studies for a general science test. Juniors Jim Hiday and Brad Bunnell find themselves somewhat con- fused by a chemistry experiment.

Prcductifvitg Increases Through Agriculture, Drafting Precission and accuracy must guide the hands of members of all drafting classes, expecially the jun- iors and seniors, as they work on their semester pro- jects. Making models for sections of a house may sound like a great challenge, but it will be one they will overcome. To make the students more capable of completing this task, Lapel has descriptive geometry in its second year class. Agricultural field trips included some events as visiting the state FFA center near Trafalgar, In- diana, and visiting some of the area farms to ob- serve the different methods of farming and animal production. Dairy, poultry, livestock, soil judging, animology, and crop judging are some of the major studies. Mr. Trippeer points out some of the fundamentals to freshman Brian Cookman in drafting class. tj .es- s 24
