' xi Z2 E552 :WE3 ': Mumford's Science Department, directed by Mr. John Strandberg, expanded its basic program of biology, chemistry and physics by offering accel- erated courses in these fields. Students covered the required studies in a shorter time to provide for more advanced work. Biology included three thirteen week courses in botany, zoology and physiology. Qualitative Anal- ysis was added to chemistry, while advanced physics students studied nuclear science. Through these programs Mumford was better able to prepare students for a new and dynamic science age. in wi ' iw ,, aww ,gf Sheldon Decker Loren Gardner -- if sf ,N w w N M331 Kathleen Kolleth Margaret Middleton Vincent Nestico iffzig i 2'iifJg'5'W'ifQ1 J ,l , E 3' , ri' -in 1, W' N ,sm it ,v,, , p A 7 , Q J s T .,., T David Rubin Michael Saporsky Alfred Strepek Eugene Tarrant Marion Wanless
