Mathematics, Science Specimens Massacred by Sophomores Physical science students began the year read- ing the text and answering questions. During the year they tested substances to see if they were acids or bases. The students also enjoyed taking home the lye soap they made in science. The biology class gained knowledge of nature and its ecosystems by studying and giving oral reports. As no experiments were done the first semester, students were eager to begin dissecting the specimens of crayfish, frogs, clams, and starfish which arrived third term. The open lab students worked with new elec- trical equipment. They tested the soils and waters of areas surrounding Powers. Many students of Powers High School gave a drop or two of blood from their fingers for the open lab people to test for anemia. General mathematics was taught by Glenn Gillespie. Pre-algebra, Algebra II, trigonome- try, and geometry were taught in one class period by Frankie Fedor. She also taught Al- gebra I to freshmen.
