Science—the discovery of the universe. From winding armatures to splitting atoms—all is discovery. Jack England. Angelo Gross and Jim Nicholson (top, right) working with the department’s extensive apparatus, are answering for themselves the questions, facts and theories found in their general physics textbook. In the botany class James Haug. Sylva Pederson. LeRoy Zuck. Don Majerus and Dave Donaldson study slides of plant tissue under supervision of Mr. Weichert (right). Students in Eastern labs are discovering the answers to questions answered long before by other students and professors. But someday the question will be a new one, the answ'er will be a new discovery: another victory in the field of science. t e MONTANA POWER CO., in order lo lurlhor serve Montana. is building a 68.000-kilowalt sleam-electric plant in Billings.

Boiling point, melting point, point of saturation, and point of exclamation! Terms and formulae race, ramble through the chaotic corridors of memory as a test is given before the textbook is cracked. Bleakness vies with blankness; but matter is solidified and gases clarified through the apt guidance of Mr. Gloege. instructor. Four hours a week (by the clock, which doesn’t measure this kind of time), supply Tom Larson. John Goodenbour.

Mr. Gleoge's tri-colored tinker-toys. No early tests sully the organic chemistry lab. But chemical shorthand involves biochemical exertion — thought — and must be mastered. Bea Vogel (right) surveys an organically labyrinthine machine; solutions boil, bubble. Will it be alcohol, soap or aspirin? The study of rock strata, the earth’s history, is one of the major problems of Dr. Meen's geology class. Class members delving into the mystery of the world’s beginning (right) are Bob Mammen. William Burgess. Nathan Salo. LeRoy Zuck and Don McPherson. 28

Don French (right) calmly and precisely traces veins and arteries through the gills of a dogfish puppy. All zoo lab study and dissection — tiny amoeba through stiff, formaldehyde-saturated cats — serve as background study for “homo sapiens”, his structure and functions.
