Mystery of Nature Intrigues Science Students PHYSICS STUDENTS Mike Konyu, Don Farrow, and Dennis Koruzyk study the movements of a lever. The early fall usually finds Biology III students casually looking for insects for their required collec¬ tions. By early November the search has become a frantic battle between the students and the insects. Finally, the student triumphs over the bug, and then his insect collection is completed. The dissection table attracts zoology students, and dissection never ceases to fascinate them. Sometimes chemical elements not only affect each other but also such things as lab aprons, table tops, and the ceiling of the chemistry room. Yes, a chem¬ istry class has a lasting effect on many things. Students who meet specified mathematical require¬ ments may study physics. Light, heat, sound mechan¬ ics, and radioactivity are studied in this course. In health and safety Mortonites stuly personal hygiene and safety. Hector, the manikin of the science department intrigues health and safety students. DISCUSSING on insect collection are Drew Hiduke, Judy Reeves, and Anthony Basso. 26

the Commercial Arts IN SALESMANSHIP CLASS Janet Williams and Jim LaBelle act as buyers, while sales¬ man David Matusiak attempts to sell them a total-sound stereo record player. Future business-minded students select commercial courses that will aid them in work after graduation. General business, business law, shorthand, clerical practice, typing, bookkeeping and salesmanship are the commercial courses offered at Morton. Personal typing, as well as office typing, and sales¬ manship train students to further their skills and techniques to aid them in future business work. Sales¬ manship also gives the students a chance to learn how to present themselves and their ideas to others. Shorthand offers the students the opportunity to take dictation at an advanced rate of speed. Clerical practice gives students experience in operating various business machines, which are beneficial to secretaries. A survey of legal forms and laws of the business world are given in the business law course. WONDERING what to do next are Cathy Peterson and Janice Smith as they attempt to change a type¬ writer ribbon which is hopelessly tangled.
