How- only a part of what takes place in these listened to lectures, worked problems, and for on-coming tests. Several movies, per- experiments in our chemistry and physics ever, this is courses. We studied hard taining to the material we studied, were shown to ns hy Mr. jerry Need, our new science teacher. Mr. Need took over for Mr. Thompson who was granted a leave of ah- senee this year to further his college education. The chemistry course is designed to give us a basic knowledge of elementary chemistry and to give us an idea of whether or not we would like to pursue that profession. XVe make a detailed study of several important elements and even produce a few of the gases in class. The physics course deals mainly with matter and energy and the transformation of energy. XVe study simple ma- chines, electricity, light, nuclear reactions, and problems, prolmlems, prohlemsl NVe watch complicated experiments lacing performed by Mr. Need and do the simpler one ourselves.
