Valences, Odors; Baffle, Choke, Student Scientists When a Rocky student wishes to know more about the world around him, he can turn to the science department and investigate the universe from the simple cell to the atomic molecule. Valences, combustion, genes, stamens, pistils, test tubes, bunsen burners, sulfuric acid, and strange, gagging odors — all combine to confuse, befuddle, amuse, serve, and inform these budding young sci¬ entists. Looking for bocterio ore sophomores Robert Newell ond Donno Nelson. “•1 MB I IV M Mr. McMoster explains to Joe Rowley and Terry Mohr how to start their Physics projects.

From conjuga¬ ting love to booming out good day to responding with a romantic French thank you, the Rocky linguist finds many uses for his talents. While at¬ tempting to master the complexities of Spanish, French, or Latin, the stu¬ dent must learn strange-sounding con¬ jugations, backward sentence struc¬ tures, and even the use of upside down question marks at the beginning of questions.

Insolvable Problems Solved by Use of Mathematical Arts, Tools If a precise, orderly mind is desired, a student is able to take advantage of one of the many math courses available. Using un¬ knowns, tangents, sines, cosinses, radicals, compasses, or slide rules he finds it possible to solve problems which first appeared to be insolvable. Processes of adding, subtracting, dividing, and multiplying are reviewed and relearned, sharpening the mind, and opening a treasure-chest of mathematical know-how.
