Under Mr. Reding's supervi- sion .lohn Collins, Allen Lacy, Donna Roberts, Joe Morton, and A. C. Williams prepare experiments for their P.S.S.C. Physics Class. P.S.S.C. PHYSICS Treadwell Seniors were given an opportunity to participate in the revolutionary physics course prepared by the Physical Science Study Committee. In the new course use was made of text books, motion picture films, and numerous monographs. An effort was made to stimulate creative ability rather than rote learning. This course was offered in only five schools in the United States in 1957-58, but in 1958-59 it was offered in two hundred eighty schools. Treadwell and Oak Ridge were the only two in Tennessee offering the course. li, 'E X B, ffp l ff With the help of Mrs. James, Annette Gordon,l' Bonnie Taylor, .lohn Can- trell, Larry Hayes and Joy 1 T' Nancy Hannings, .loy Lott, June Bryan, and Joe Mor- ton expcriment with waves in a ripple tank as Mr. Hoffart, a visitation repre- sentative ol the Physical ' Science Study Committee, from Watertown, Massachu- setts, and Mr. Rcding, teacher of the physics class, watch with approval.

OCIAL STUDIE In our modern world, history plays an important role in promoting cit- izenship. Thrilling events from the pages of the past were' relived as students studied such topics as the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln, and World War II. A part of each day, however, was devoted to the study of current events, so that Treadwell students would be well informed as to the problems of our time.

GY CHEMISTRY In Mr. Puckett's chemistry class the students watch as Kenneth Miller, Ronnie Durby, Nancy Rayner, and Lauran Waldran demonstrate an experiment. T-fe-' t, ,t,t Heinz are studying the skeletal system in biology class. GENERAL SCIENCE Mrs. Hutchens directs her general science students Jerry Levy, Don Moore, Du- ane Mills, Judith Collison, and Mary Helen Tipton in their first attempt in a laboratory experiment. SCIE CE Science is the key that unlocks the untold mysteries of the world. Our classes aided the cultivation of curiosity, open-mindedness, and cautious judgment. In biology the students working on insect and leaf collections gained an understanding of our natural world. Chemistry classes provided answers to the questions concerning the composition of matter. '
