CHEMISTS Robert Sofka and Susan Popp demonstrate the process of fractional distillation. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT. When NaCl and H-O are mixed, salt water is formed; when science and a student are put together, logical thinking evolves. We are led from stud of primitive plant and animal life to the complexities of physics and chemistry. We are even permitted a glimpse into the mysteries of nuclear physics. Laboratory experiments give us satisfying proof of established laws and conclusions, and inspire some of us to enter this field as it comes of age with dramatic discoveries. Roland W. Tapley M.Ed.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT. Expressing our thoughts clearly is a major factor in the complex society of today. In our English work, courses in public speaking and journalism provide us with practice in colorful self-expression. The study of literature leads us to appreciate the precise use of words.
