STENNETT Teachers Encourage Creative Abilities Science students combined original research and textbook study. Biology and advanced biology classes supplemented basic texts with detailed examination of the internal and external structures of various ani- mals. Experimentation highlighted physical science classes. For physics students a series of experiments with mirror images proved intriguing. During labora- tory periods, chemistry students conducted experi- ments in such fields as hydration and solubility while earth science classes investigated methods of weather prediction. Chorus, band, and orchestra classes developed proper techniques as they practiced for performances in school assemblies and evening concerts. The entire Music Department participated in the Spring Concert in April. Reorganized this year, the Art Department offered courses stressing different aspects of art.
