Opened at Edison in January “Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble,” is the theme song of the chemistry students as they work in the laboratory. Besides toil and trouble for the Juniors taking chemistry, the earth science and biology students have many arduous tasks ranging from i frog dissections to rock collections. j| Two developments in the science department i have made for interesting study. The planetarium I has made possible the study of astronomy. Each science class was given a chance to visit the plane¬ tarium to see how it worked. The second develop¬ ment has been the CHEM study course in which students are primarily involved in laboratory ex¬ periments. CHEM Study students concentrate on lab work. Biology students explore the microscopic world. 17
