Sputnik stimulated the inquisitive look at MHS. Challenged by the demand for scientists, students worked harder and even elected extra science and math courses. Young physicists found out how to measure friction, why feet get cold on some floors, and what makes a Geiger counter tick. ln chem- istry students discovered that pennies give off gas, rotten egg smells cannot be avoided, and valence charts are confusing. Sophomore biologists gin- gerly dissected frogs and grew plants in the green- house. To provide seniors with more math, Mr. Broman taught l8 boys and 4 girls Algebra IV for the first time. Ceometricians constructed dodeca- hedrons and icosahedrons. Citizenship classes toured MHS from tower to heating tunnels and visited the city hall. While historians memorized the preamble to the Constitu- tion and figured parity problems, government stu- dents pondered over our national bureaucracy. ln economics students played the stock market: in sociology they solved the problem of slum clearance.
