The somewhat startled individuals pictured below are members of the never-a-dull-moment chemistry class which meets twice weekly for laboratory experimentation. Here they are observing the reaction sodium undergoes when placed in contact with water result: a very loud bang! SCIENCE With the dawning of a new and exciting scienti- fic age of exploration, the inquisitive students enrolled in the various science classes offered at St. Paul enjoy even more the studies which acquaint them with the wondrous realms of our environment. As sputniks and whatniks streak across the heavens, We find these same students busily engrossed in research, exploration, and experimentation. Eager Freshmen are introduced to the interest- ing mechanics of general science, where they first become acquainted with the wonders sur- rounding them and learn to recognize and un- derstand them more fully. Curious juniors investigate the deep, dark, and sometimes forboding interiors of countless minute organisms and various species of animal life. Their curriculum has not been limited to one science course, however, for they are allowed to join with serious-minded Seniors in pursuing the fields of experimentation offered in chemistry and physics. All Paulians will agree that the particular science class in which they are enrolled is the most interesting and, consequently, the most enjoyable.
