Science and Mathematics Courses Lay Cornerstone for Understanding of Atomic Age Who knows but what we have a future what is to come in advanced science classes. Einstein in our Scienfie and mgjfh Classes .at Nature lovers learned to identify many forms L'T'H'S'? Anyway' Clinton O' Bismarck' MISS of plants and animals during biology class under Loring E' Goerz' and Daymond J' Aiken did the supervision of Mr. Bismarck. These students their best to familiarize their pupils with all the fundamentals necessary to success in these fields. Freshmen received a taste of science in the general science course taught by Mr. Bismarck and Miss Goetz, which gave them an inkling of also found a whole new world opened to them as they peered into a microscope at colonies of bacteria. Another phase of this course was dissect- ing and drawing parts of frogs, fish, and insects which proved very interesting.

Bottom: Peggy Chasteen, Walter Slack, and Marion Smith watch the workings of a retort. Rinaldo Caneva and Katherine Clapper study an algebraic equation on one of Daymond J. Aiken's algebra charts. 16'

Daymond J. Aiken, B.A., M.S., freshman home room, student council, Algebra I and II, physics, plane geometry, trig- onometry. Chemistry students gained ex- perience in the laboratory as they performed numerous experiments under Mr. Bismarclds watchful eye. Many odd smells that filled the school halls can be blamed on this class. Light, sound, and physical laws of nature were just a few of the things taught in the physics class by Mr. Aiken. Although they haven't experimented with the atomic bomb, the class learned many important and interesting facts concerninghnu- clear physics. In the mathematics depart- ment, freshmen prepared themselves for advanced mathematics by study- ing general mathematics under Miss Goerz and algebra under the instruc- tion of Miss Goetz and Mr Aiken. Plane. geometry, advanced algebra, and solid geometry were taken by hopeful mathematicians who worked with logarithms, cylinders, calculus, and parabolas. These classes were under the capable direction of Mr. Aiken who has recently had his own algebra book and charts published. The latter are used in many schools, including our own. Miss Lorina E.
