lk. l l l i .YCIENCE STUDENTS' M4 VE Do you know the names and numbers of each of the phylums? This is only a small part ofthe wealth of know- ledge, about all types of life, available through Biology. Plants, animals, and people are the main topics which are discussed, read about and reported on. Mr. Blumenthal fleft picturej and Mr. Strang fright picturel share the re- sponsibility of educating the students of Romulus in the science of Biology. We live in a chemical world .... There's even a chem- istry of personality. . . .And chemistry moves ahead so fast that it is said a chemistr text- book is out of date by the time the manuscript can be completed. Romulus's chemistry course is a good, sound one intended for students who are interested in science or preparing for college. Chemistry minded students are ably directed and instructed by Mr. Lamb. Of course, there are experi- ments that cause small crises al- most daily, including burned fingers, test tubes that blow their tops under pressure, and series of minor explosions.

Q TRAININ6 0F FUTURE TRADESMEN The blueprint reading class is one of the most fascinating here at our school. ln this class students are taught to visualize complicated obiects from lines and numbers. Mr. Morkam is shown help- ing a student with a difficult problem which is soon clarified by his excellent instruction. The buzzing of saws and the whirling of drills are appropriate sounds from our well-equipped wood and metal shop. The students, through actual experiences on the com licated saws, drill presses and other ma- chinery, learn to be handymen with wood, metal and plastics, and at the same time create use- ful and money saving proiects. The delicate setting of the table saw is one of the many skills students learn through Mr. Diment's demonstrations.

A Bkofw nm: 0F cffolcf 5' Plfjlu Mathematics courses are pop- ular but challenging. ln a lot of ways they result in a survival of the fittest. Students can ma- ior in math or merely take a two year minor, whatever the individ- ual's choice, a full program is available. From room 104, we hear the screech of chalk and the flutter of ages as Mr. Pedrick's Advan- cecla Algebra students attempt to draw complicated graphs and solve impossible quadratic equa- tions. I I 1 Ml! Q if l s, Q lm, Z f xx M Long involved problems, com- plicated experiments, and difficult proiects are worked on far into the night by those who ventured into the course in physics. Deal- ing mainly with matter, energy, and physical changes in matter, this course is invaluable to stu- dents who are preparing for col- lege. Mr. Goldenberg demonstrates, and explains some of the prin- ciples of sound and sonics to a group of science minded seniors.
