The year began wiTh The memorizing oT valences and be- came increasingly diTTiculT Through The year, concluding wiTh The consTrucTion of hydrocarbon models wiTh TinkerToys. ln our junior year numerous sTudenTs Took chemisTry, wiTh The remainder sTudying physics. As we waded Through mechanics, heaT, sound, and elecTriciTy, we became acauainTed wiTh Mr. SoulT's Theory oT work Tor knowledge - noT iusT Tor a grade. To round ouT The senior year, several brave sTudenTs decided To go The exTra mile, They elecTed Mr. Jacobs' advanced physical science course, which encompasses everyThing Trom organic chem- isTry To nuclear and aTomic physics. To TurTher sTrengThen our academic science program, nighT courses were ofiered in lvlaThemaTics of Science and AnalyTical ChemisTry, TaughT by lvlr. SoulT and Mr. Jacobs, respecTively. These classes meT weekly Tor approximaTely Three hours. We Thank boTh lvlr. SoulT and lvlr.
