SCIENCE CLASSES Busily pouring iron filings for a magnefic field demonsfrafion is Mr. Rafhsburg. Many sophomores, iuniors, and seniors, in pre- aring for majors or a minor in science, have had many differenl' experiences which have add- ed a bil' of spice fo fhe process of learning. None will forgel' Mr. Sfrain in Biology I proving fo one and all his immunify fo poison ivy, by eafing some: or his leaf collecfions of red oak, whife maple, and Chinese elm of which he was so proud. If was from fhe humdrum roufine of Biology I, we enfered 'lhe hecfic raf race of Biology 2 wifh insfrucfor, Mr. Tenhave, fhe smiling Dufchman. The cheerful hours spenf dissecfing grasshoppers, worms, crayfish, frogs, and fabby cafs leff sfu- denfs wifh a feeling of nausea. The periods were enlivened, however, by fhe affempfs fo capfure a 'Ierrified screech owl and an allegedly anes- fhefized frog fhaf was leaping across fhe fable during dissecfion. Pracfical iokers were repri- manded for puffing dead frogs and live mice in fhe girls' purses. In fhe iunior year came chemisfry, wifh ifs smells and ifs mysferious chemicals in odd shaped bof- fles, and of course, fhe professors Hursh and Rafhsburg. The sulphur experimenfs, fhe making of nifric acid, fhe flash powder episodes, along wifh 'lhe experimenfs served fo keep fhe class in sfifches. Finally, fired seniors reached physics, fhe fop of fhe ladder. The sfudenfs were bewildered by fhe maze of weird apparafus, and 'raken aback by Herr Rafhsburg. They scorched fheir fingers on fhe expansion experimenf, elecfrocufed each ofher wifh 'l'he sfafic machine, received mashed fingers by falling weighfs Ifesfing fhe fheory of gravifyl, and barely passed sneak fesfs which served fo keep fhem on fheir foes, if nofhing else. Neverfheless, af fhe end of fhree years, fhe grad- uafes are ready fo apply fheir new-found knowl- edge fo 'lhe oufside world, whefher if is fo be raising chickens, mixing painf, or fixing a broken radio.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES Habla Usfed Expanol? Veni, Vedi, Vici. and Parlez vous francais? became familiar phrases fo all ROHS foreign language s+uden+s in Spanish, Laiin and French classes. Some have passed +hrough ihe doors of 324, forgeliing all English for a while, in order +o learn Spanish from Mrs. Rowe, la profesora. During 'lhe semesier sfudenfs siudied 'rhe hisfory and culiure of Spain and La+in American coun- fries, besides ihe language ifself. Caesar came, saw and conquered, bu'r in doing so he caused many a Laiin siudeni considerable consiernafion.

Making ous sound like oo was 'rhe fask lackled by French siudenfs in 304. Mr. MaHhews, +he French ins+ruc+or, provided records, a French newspaper and oiher special ac+ivi+ies io make 'rhe sfudy of +ha+ language more enjoyable. ROHS sfudenfs who look even one of The above, may have had diffi- cuH'y.
