WITH THE USE of an experiment junior high science teacher Irvin Maxwell illustrates the properties of gases. Scientists Make What on earth can I do for a science project? was the question heard most often from science students in grades 7- 12 as the school prepared for its first olTicial Science Fair March 26. In step with the times the most popu- lar subject for exhibits was outer space. Many facets of this selection were worked out in such projects as model solar sys- tems, inside a rocketf' and a completely equipped space station. Mr. Harry Shadle and Mr. Irvin Max- well, who supervised junior high students in preparing their entries, guided them through the year in elementary science. Ninth graders received a taste of what they could expect if they continued in science while studying general science MR. W. T, REYNOLDS tries to start seventh grade mathematicians on the road to success toward high school math.
