1 Science These students are getting their posters ready for their Post Graduate Night, which will bring together seniors from several schools in the district and rep- resentatives of various colleges. These students on the left seem to be planning for a big interesting chemistry experiment for the prac- tical experience. The students from the sophomore class look for- ward to studying chem- istry during their junior year. There was a time when students would avoid the science courses, but now, there seems to be a new interest in various science courses at Mary Potter. Mrs. M. Scott, our counselor, created the idea because she felt that the sen- iors will receive vital information con- cerning the colleges, and what they have to offer. The program gave the parents an opportunity to talk with the various colleges and trade representa- tives about the futures of their children. The program was attended by three hundred seniors and many parents. The seniors felt that the program should be an annual event for the students in their country. Parents and students are able to share the same vital information. Since that this program was a great success, it has awaken the other stu- dents about their future career.
