New Science Courses Begin “How is the earth formed?” queries a puzzled eighth grader. Aided by a new textbook, MODERN PHYSICAL SCIENCE, the student’s question was answered. Even through they were studying earth science, the course also touched upon chemistry and physics. The new book called for many demonstrations which proved enlighten- ing and helpful to the students. Freshmen, concentrated upon several general fields— earth science, biology and chemistry. Constructing mole- cules, aided the student in visualizing abstract terms. “You don’t expect me to touch that frog, do you?” a frantic girl exclaims. Miss Easterling mischievously nods her head in the affirmative. In biology all students were expected to participate. Gazing at slides under the microscope and taking notes on the life cycle of a jelly fish were a few of the many things that took place in class. Chemistry experienced the biggest change over this year. With the new book, CHEMISTRY—AN EXPERIMEN- TAL SCIENCE, students no longer had to memorize the chemical laws as dull facts. They performed experi- ments to prove these laws themselves. Requiring much thought and thorough concen tration, the new course was a challenge to all its students. Instead of a mere acceptance of facts, physics students questioned the “why” of such phenomenons as “the sun’s rising,” the “tides,” and the “wind.” Freshmen busily study earth science and biology in their science course. After constructing a styrefoam molecule, Susan Smith quiz- zically examines its complex structure. With a change over in the chemistry course this year, students perform more experiments.

New “Tools’”’ Propel Students into Business World Loud, frustrated sighs accompanied the tapping of the typewriters heard in the business department. Students taking typing composed and typed letters, manvu- scripts, envelopes; and took timings. Neat- ness, which sometimes seemed virtually impossible, was foremost. For some, shorthand proved as harrow- ing as typing. These students took dic- tation for speed and accuracy. Also, there were tests on brief forms, the “alphabet’’ of shorthand. In its second year at MHS, personal typ- ing aided those students headed for col- lege. Seniors who planned to seek employ- Addition—Subtraction—Multiplication—Division! One machine can perform all these feats? ment after graduation found secretarial practice a preview of what to expect “on the job.” Mrs. Rice dictates to her sixth period shorthand II class. Gradually in- creasing the speed, she prepares her students for their future secre- tarial jobs. MRS. PATRICIA BREEDEN, Personal Typing, Bookkeeping, FBLA MRS. BETTY RICE, Typing Il, Shorthand |, II, Secretarial Office Practice Trojan Practice, efficiency, and speed are words drilled into the minds of all shorthand students.

Leaning over her plaster figurine in Art II class, Pam Williams deftly carves away any excess material. With marked precision, Clarence Hubbard labors over a set of carefully drawn house plans. MR. MARION DEXTER Shop, Mechanical Drawing, Physics MRS. CONSTANCE PHILLIPS Art, English 8 Creativity Expresses Itself in Many Forms of Media Donning old shirts emblazoned with every color of paint imaginable, many of Midlothian’s students labored creatively in the art classes. The Art II class, added to the curriculum this year, enabled students to delve further into the world of art. Experimenting with charcoal, pencil, water colors, and pastels, the students gradually progressed to working with oils. Other media they dealt in ranged from molding plaster of Paris to creating new products, such as new tooth powders, along with plaster of Paris teeth. Strik- ing creations of the Christmas spirit were displayed in hall showcases. More practical forms of art beckoned to the boys in the industrial arts classes. In shop saws buzzed and sparks flew as wood was cut and planed. While newer students made knife holders and nut bowls, the experienced ones tackled coffee tables and book racks. Perched upon high wooden stools, the mechanical drawing classes learned the importance of accuracy. As they gained familiarity, the architectural students pro- gressed to the difficult task of mastering detailed house plans.
