SCIENCE The Search Never Ends Continued experimentation in curriculum marked the South Eugene science department under the direction of Dr. Dirk Ten Brinke. In addition to regular biol- ogy, chemistry and physics, BSCS, CHEMS and PSSC were offered, opening wider doors of learning to advanced students in the field. Biological Sciences Curriculum Study, in its third year at South, stressed direct observation and experi- mentation. Chemistry Education Materials Study was based on the inductive approach, emphasizing chem- ical principles rather than descriptive chemistry. Supported by the National Science Foundation, Phys- ical Science Study Committee courses centered on the basic conflicts between the particle and wave theories of light. Evening lab sessions were conducted weekly at which students had an opportunity to catch up on unlin- ished assignments or experiment with new topics of interest. Students utilized equipment ranging from test tubes to stroboscopes in their work.

Excursions to the Lane County Extension Agriculture Service, Eastern Lane Fire Protection Agency, Weyer- haeuser saw mill, Georgia-Pacinc plywood mill, and Oregon State University forest production lab and fish and game department constituted much of the forestry stu- dents' year. Practical experience included furnishing and repairing the school greenhouse, planting trees, collecting fir cones, marketing Christmas trees, and participating in a three-day Survival trip. For those enrolled in agriculture classes, the agenda was equally busy. Field trips were taken to the Eugene Fruit Growers' Association cannery and Bartel's Meat Company. Successful operations of local farmers were viewed later in the year in the hope that students would learn the secrets of their success. 42 Mike Moore learns proper chain-sow technique from Mr. Noteboom.
