cience The ghosts of Darwin, Davy, and Faraday haunted the Biolo- gy, Chemistry, and Physics rooms as young scientists, seek- ing knowledge of living things, the elements, and properties of matter and energy experiment- ed, studied and calculated. Under such titles as Fascin- ation of Microscopic Lite and Conquering Dangerous Mi- crobes, biology students worked, wondered, and are still wondering. While biologists strived with living things, the eager chemists worked with atoms, and the theory of ion- ization. Further up the scientific ladder, seniors were fascinated in Physics by such sciences as mechanics and light. Understanding Science, Applied Chemistry, and Liv- ing With Machines were all units in the work of Consumer Science classes, where the em- phasis was placed on tying up science with everyday life. Though the fundamental groundwork was difficult to master, science students realized that in this field are great op- portunities for the future. lTop to bottaml Mr. Brown and students study o chemical formula These three discover the won- ders of science Mr. Gilbert dissects again The wonders of the plant king- dom pointed out by Miss Rankin Mr. Bromberick compounds the elements Physics students stand impressed -- 1,5 4
