MISS MARY OWEN, B.S., Longwood College MRS. JANET OWENS, B.S., Radford College In more advanced activities, the department gathered data and plotted a solubility curve. As the year drew to a close, the students tried to establish an equilibrium concentration in several solutions and tried to determine the equilibrium constant for all solutions from this data. With the help of Mr. Faulkner, the physics lab was used for the first time this year. The students applied physics laws by the use of the lab about every ten days. Among other things, they measured the speed of sound with drums, horns, cymbals, and stop watches. They also measured the amount of resistances in different circuits.
