SCIENCE chemistry and physics prove fascinating to student scientists The science department includes chemistry, physics, biology, and general science. Numerous experiments, films, and discussions helped the students to understand science. The largest class, biology, was es- pecially interesting as the dissection of frogs, fish and worms became the order of the day. The chemistry students studied chemi- cal reactions, molecular arrangements and other principles of the field. The physics students studied the laws of nature and did various experiments to prove their theories true. Frank Diaz and Zeke Sanchez are dissecting a frog in biology. Mr. Joseph Galusky received his M.A. and M. S. degrees from West Virginia Uni- versity and his B.S. from West Virginia Wesleyan. He teaches physic s and chemistry. Mr. Galusky is a member of the Lion's Club, president of the commercial bowling league, and teaches catechism. His hobbies are summer school and reading. BELOW: Albert Arvallo, using radioisotopes and a geiger counter, is studying osmosis.

MATHEMATICS Construction is important in plane geometry. Drawing perpendiculars, bisecting line segments, making parallels, and bisecting angles were all included. Demonstrating con- struction techniques are Jim Todacheeny, Gaylon Miller and Charles Fuentes. Thought discipline results from study of numerical principles. Virginia Ward ponders for a moment as she completes the point of a soda- straw star in solid geometry. Cooking and reading are among the in - terests of Mrs. Beverly Nichols. She received both her B. A. , and M. A. from Arizona State University. She teaches plane geometry, general math and sophomore English. She sponsors the junior class and F. T. A. , and attends the First Baptist Church. 30
