New Biology Suite Added to Umatilla High School MIKE DuBose uses a slinky to demonstrate trans- verse and longitudinal wave motion. As a young child, one looks at the splendid starlit sky with wonder and awe—as a student of U.H.S., one learns the meaning of the celestial scene spread. above, %jjd of the chemical and physical aspects of the world. This year the general science class had done a lot of study on heat control. Dissecting now has a new appeal to the biology students, who were paired off, each group receiv- ing their own individual cutting kits complete with animals to dissect. Physics students became well versed in the reflection and refraction of light in mirrors and lenses. To study the heavens better, the entire sci- ence department borrowed a large telescope. In February, !he biology class took a trip to the Jacksonville Zoo and Mar ineland. GENERAL Science students find that the telescope, loaned to the school, is complicated but fascinating. MR. ROBERT STOVER teaches gen. sci. and geometry. MRS. BETTY RYNEARSON teaches gen. sci., physics, and biology. USING a model of the brain, biology students David Caldwell and Gail Pulliam show the rest of the class where the cerebrum is located. 19

Seniors Get First-Hand Talks on Banking and Russia n From prehistoric man to the latest bill proposed by Congress; from the ideology of r; (rom our state government to the complexities of international relationships. This was the gamut run by the social studies department. In the civics classes students learned the working of our state government and kept abreast of current events by reading the EVERY WEEK. World history students became familiar with many famous men and their contribu- tion to the world. To add practical knowledge to the American History class, students learned how to fill out income tax forms. The senior courses Communism and AmerIcanism contrasted the qualities and evils of Communism and Americanism. (Mr. Stevens from the Umatilla State Bank spoke to the P.O.D. class on banking.) DANNY Harrington learns the major differences between the relief, globular, and mercator maps. STUDYING pictures of the revolting Russian peasants in 1905 help Bobby Bryan learn more about Communism’s background. yyZ bcc V , f(pj a I IV 'rn Jfea SJiictc-o C n bver STUDENTS can keep abreast of daily news events by reading newspaper articles that are put on the bulletin board each day.
