Sarah Land steadies a 50 ml graduate while her lab partner, Allen Hayes, attaches copper strip during one of many experiments performed this year in Miss Cooper's chemistry classes. Patrick Henry's Science De- partment continued as one of the most modern in the state. This year, a course in nursing chem- istry was offered to those who plan to enter the nursing profes- sion. The chemistry, biology, and physics divisions placed special emphasis on preparing students for careers in this age of scien- tific experiment. Chemistry stu- dents were assigned projects on which they spent many long hours combining research and their own experiments pertaining to the theme of their projects. Hospitals in Roanoke work closely with the Science Depart- ment, and again this year a Student-lnternl Program was of- fered to interested science stu- dents at Patrick Henry. Allen Hayes was chosen to work in the lab at Jefferson Hospital. This program offers' students inter- ested in a medical career the opportunity of actually working in a hospital. The Science Department init- iated a school-wide science fair which was held in March. AI- though this was not a prerequisite for entering the city science fair, many students did enter and all phases of science were repre- sented. Pete Ostaseski, Bill Baumgardner, and Shelby Dickerson odiust a resonance apparatus to determine wave length for physics experi- ment. hT'W 2l Miss Bettye Carolyn Via, Biology, B.S., Roanoke College, M.S., V.P.l., Chairman of Science Department.
