General science classes, the starting of science study in the upper grades, open many new doors to Rogers ' entering fresh¬ men. Harvey Soule follows the spark on high voltage transform¬ er for Sharon Nopierolo, an¬ other student of the novice science course. It was quite on event when biolo¬ gists discovered that the big green tomato hornworm could fly 35 miles per hour os on adult sphinx moth. They were thrilled, too, when they found that the golden plover, o relative of the kildeer, flew 8,000 miles twice each year during its migration. These future biologists, shown here learning the structure of the omebo, now study discoveries of other scientists, but soon will be making important discoveries of their own. Senior science, technically known os physiology, is the study of the human body and its core. As o cop to their scientific stud¬ ies, senior students learn about themselves, study the proper core of their body, and devote con¬ siderable time and attention to various aspects of social vices affecting their health.

Filtering out solid material from various liquids is a task often per¬ formed in room 224, the chemistry lob. Jeanne Wasmundt and Donald Pfaflf use the filter and tubing that, according to Robert Bean, chem¬ istry instructor, can be attached to a condenser to form a vacuum. In quest of pure reason Rogers seminar science class received notoriety, complete Vv ' ith picture, in the Toledo Blade during January because of its unusual program in furthering the science education of RHS students. Pupils taking the special course receive no academic credit. Joe Dence, one of the classes ' enthusiastic pupils stirs a solution to increase its concentration. 6

The complicated world of math Signs and symbols, negative and positive numbers, square numbers, and unknowns are just a few of the numerical terms dealt with in the advanced algebra classes. Taken in the third or fourth year of the study of high school mathematics, the advanced course is designed to stimulate the student ' s mind toward the subject and encourage further a study of mathemati cs. Sue Ditt- man appears to have little trouble in the mastering of a typical ad¬ vanced algebra problem. High up in the study of mathematics, these trigonometry boys attack an impressive looking trigonometry problem with zest. Studying of trigonometry is the final step in mathematical preparation for college. Shown here, Jerry Hall demonstrates the opera¬ tion of a slide rule to Jim Lorenzen while Jon Zachman refers to the book for additional help.
