Sally Dietler, Linda Robinson, Jim Thomas, and Johnny Eliot make particular notation of the plant life sur- rounding the Biology building for their Biology l classes. This individual investigation helps these students in understanding the identification and classifications of plants, a skill taught in these classes. Extensive analytical research carried out in Biolog building Employing his knowledge of the characteristics of plants and animals, Dick Hannon concentrates on identify- Working on a project for their Biology ll class, Beth ing the different structures found in Protozoa with a microscope.

Principles of the natural sciences made available to students in Physics building MW Casting a solitary shadow on the steps of the Phy- sics building, a student finds them o most convenient spot for finishing homework. Before and after school and between class changes many students can be seen scurrying in the science complex of the Biology ond Physics buildings, Not lacking in the study of sciences, Myers Park has two buildings for courses in chemistry, physics, and bi- ology, with a third one having three new labs being constructed. Placed on a far corner of the campus, they often seem a long way to walk it a person must go there. Once there, a visitor cannot help being impressed with their appearance and wondering what pur- pose the empty cages in the Biology building have. Many people also won- der what is behind the doors across from the physics classroom. One of them leads to the Mustang's darkroom where the photography staff develops and prints the majority of pictures used in the book, one leads to a science study room, one to the instructors' of- fice. Some students overlook the sci- ence library with its books on the sciences, philosophy, and related topics collected by the instructors. They make this mistake because they first must ask themselves what all of the quotes on P-7's walls mean and what origi- nates the stale odor in the chemistry room. Peggy Palmer and her lab partner, Dick Babcock, use the hood in the rear of the chemistry room in order to prevent inhaling poisonous gas fumes during an experiment on collecting chlorine. Using information acquired during classroom lectures, these students perform such reactions by means of the modern equipment provided. ilu t 1 8 tl
