The required closs of Biology dissected grosshoppers, frogs, cloms, ond eor- thworms. Chemistry lobs consisted of identi- fying metollic ions to testing the obilities of substonces to conduct on electric current. Field trips to Fort Desoto ond Morine Reseorch Center ot University of South Florido's Boyboro compus were some of the speciol octivities in Morine Biology. Science students Jerry Coutont ond Ken Vogel were selected to ottend the Science Symposium with four other students in the county. The symposium wos held ot the University of Florido Jonuory S1 thru Februory 2. Although the Moth Deportment didn't ot- tend seminors ot university compuses, they did, however, porticipote in o Competitive Moth Test this spring for o smoll fee of 35:1 per person, A port of the moth closses tools the lnternotionol survey in the beginning ond end of the yeor.
