1939 FORTY Biology Above we see boys and girls who have a wide range of interest in science. They are the present enthusiastic group of Sophomores who are studying in the Biology Laboratory. Biology as we know, is that branch of science which treats of plant and animal life. Through science the world becomes meaningful and at the same time more mysterious. It provides new experiences and new adventures. 'For them sicence plays an important part in making the youths of today the better citizens of tomorrow. Demonstrations are always popular for they create a new interest in life. Such experiments as the dissection of the frog or fish usually prove the most interesting, although microscopic study holds its own fascination for many students. lt is in the latter branch that Charles Elson has shown keen interest. Helen Kupcha, Margaret Ehas, Bruno Marascio and Eugene Smith together with Elson have managed to lead their respective classes throughout the year. Others who have shown great enthusiasm in Biology, not only in the study itself, but in the general work attached in keeping the room in perfect order are: Catherine Butcho, Mary Kernahan, Ruth Stearns, Walter Bell, Joseph Brennan, James Tracy and John Phelan.
