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.

Fourteen eager students enrolled in the har- mony class, offered for the first time in recent years. Organ students practiced daily trying to make pedals and keys work together smoothly. Amateur Rembrandts created modern designs with chalk and finger paints, drew self-portraits, and fashioned masks in the art room. They worked with water colors and oil paints, copper, and clay to express their creative ideas. Future homemakers studied all kinds of things in the ten home ec courses. Drawing parts of a beef and setting tables with colorful centerpieces, girls strived to be successful as well as artistic cooks. ln child care and home management they changed diapers, learned babysitting techniques, and arranged furniture attractively.
