Entertain Orphans, Enter Science Fair What may seem, to the uninitiated student, a barrage ot suspicious theories, dissected pigs, the mysteries ot quantum numbers, odors ot tormaldehyde, and problems in time and space is really scientitic intormation ottered to Memorialites in tour areas-chemistry, biology, phys- ics, and physical science. Second year courses in chemis- try, and biology advance aspiring sci- entists even turther toward their goals. This year a program ot team-teaching in biology, plus tormal presentation ot research proiects by second-year stu dents distinguished the science depart- ment's curriculum.
