Students Study Chemical Reactions Future scientists Mardell Davis, Alexander Golston, Lorry Vorkopich, and Marylou Toby, learn to bolance weights. Lucille Nodolski ond Diane Lewis test the Oddity of on un- known chemicol. Tollesion's science closses hove been busy all year adding to their knowledge the problems that once puzzled such brilliant men os Golileo, Archimedes, Franklin, ond Edison. The chemistry classes study the why ond how of chemicol reactions. They leorn why two or three elements ore attracted to one another ond how they are held in bond. They also leorn how to handle strong ocids and other technical aspects of laboratory work. The physics classes study the application of laws and theories dealing with matter and energy. Most experiments performed by physics students ottempt to prove these laws. V Students wotch Mr. Conord conduct on experiment in physicol science. 12

Students Learn Their Language Mist Jone Costello. Individual Developmental Reoding Teocher, suggests ways in which students moy improve their reoding skills. Mrs. Moffott exploins the vocabulary lesson to Ross Guzik, Moses Hubonks, and Arlene Wolker. Accurate and effective use of the English language is stressed at Tolleston.

Math Prepares Students For Future Art Bortolini, Donno Morcyonik, Elome Klimek, ond Beverly Moore ore working for mo I proofs of geometric problems From the fundamentals of mathematics to the advanced study of trigonometry, Tolleston's math students prepare for tomor- row. Working with triangles, equations, decimals, and percent- ages, students learn to solve fu- ture everydoy problems, os well os advanced mathematical equa- tions. Leorning to reason our prob- lems in moth will lead to logical thinking in working out other problems of doily life. Indeed, this mathematical training will provide some students with voca- tions. freshmen Poul Pollord, Eorlme Wheeler, ond Awildo Pogon, listen attentively os Mr. Larsen explains a difficult problem. Mr. Goforth wofches os John Zedolis ond Ronald Pott on work equations.
