TEST TUBES AND COMPASSES Boy, what a gruesome smell! Isn't this grasshop- per revolting? Remarks such as these emanated daily from the science lab, where future Curies and Salks struggled to learn the fundamentals of Biology and Chemistry under Sister Dorothea Marie's capable instruction. We foimd that such activities as making Hydrogen sulfide and dissecting frogs weren't so bad as we had expected. More advanced students struck out on their own, and used their ingenuity and skill in individual scientific projects, ln the lab of L,G,C, may be found the future scientists of the Atomic Age! Therese Thomas, Cecelia Sanford, Donna Mc- Evoy, Lynne Mordaunt, and Rita Campbell work out their experiments under Sister Dorothea Marie's direction, 'Does that look right yet? asks Therese Thomas, as Rita Campbell examines the vegetable dye which they have distilled as a science project, I can't believe l look like thatl laughs Pamela Earle, as Carole Willding attempts to name the parts of the anatomical chart for Melinda Luther and the Biology class,

Practice makes perfect, So find Collette Wisley and Eleanor Custer, as they labor with Shorthand symbols, Tl-IE COMMUNICATION Ar To think, to speak, to write, , ,these are abilities which speech and journalism classes develop. Such skills prepare us for our future in a world in which the word is all powerful. Shorthand and typing courses round out the curriculum by giving these abilities a technical polish, Future Homemakers of America, Katherine Mil- ler, Linda Zabojnik, Pat Dixon, and Kay Wood, work desperately to complete those skirts, Making toy animals ab- sorbs Margie Pearson and other members of the home ec class.
