' 'Zi---H Textbooks come to life in SBI-lS's Lab Biology classes where each student has his own equipment and performs his own experiments Lab Biology, a class covering the fundamental biological and physiological human principles, has proven to be very popular among the juniors and seniors of Card City. Many hours of tedious labor were devoted to detailed research proj- ects, destined to comprise nearly all of SBHS's entries in the Inland Science Fair. The combination lab and classroom contained more experi- mental animals, especially white rats, than it did students, and to many outsiders it appeared to be a miniature zoo. But for some strange reason only a few of the animals lived for more than one or two months, maybe because of all those organic experiments that the budding scientists liked to per- form, The guinea pigs were injected with samples of every- thing including cancerj one student even converted two once independent rats into a siamese pair. The pupils who were willing to devote their time to the research required by this course experienced an irreplaceable feeling of independence and satisfaction, l-low to inject a rat is demonstrated to Roberta Neuman by Biology teacher Paul Ash. Animals were inoculated with everything from cancer to measles by inquisitive young scientists. jc Tbnaifb Two hundred and six bones in the human bodyln an- nounces Biology instructor Charles Wagner as he in- troduces Blan- che, silent ob- server in the lab.

The 59 frontier clemancls new pioneers With today's fierce race for knowledge among the great world powers, much importance has been directed toward the math-science field. SBHS is not lagging in this accelerated program, having many technical courses which are designed to develop math-science ability: ad- vanced algebra, a course which takes up where first year algebra left off and continues further to lay the foun- dation necessary for success in higher mathematics, That's how it is, class. Mr. Kalar explains the difficult atomic theory to his physics class. 14 l chemistry, a laboratory study of chemical phenomena, including qualitative and quantitative analysis, photogra- phy, a series of studies devoted to high speed photographs of chemical reactions, physics, a class which probes deeply into the parts of our everyday physical world, and trigonometry, the study of problems dealing with the science of navigation and with the task of preparing students for college math such as calculus. Bob McKenzie and David Olsen are completely occupied with trying to complete the linear expansion experiment for physics.
