Fire Fails to Stop Young Scientist ' s Enthusiasm By examining the jaw of a horse, Nancy Steele and Vikki McDonald gain more knowledge about bone structure in physiology class. Mike Haley and Paul Clouse demonstrate an experiment for testing acids during physical science class. As Americans become adjusted to living in a technological age such as ours, an understanding of science is a necessity. Although all students at Warren are required to take two years of science, many take additional courses because of their interest. It is said that experience is the best teacher. Warrenites get a chance to test this theory in any of the well-equipped laboratories. Although the upper part of the science wing was crippled due to the fire in the physical science laboratory, the affected classes proceeded for about four weeks as normally as possible in make-shift classrooms. After a week of rehabilitation, math classrooms on the lower floor of the wing were re-opened, thus somewhat relieving the cramped situa- tion. Ironically, the room where the fire started had been remodeled to be a laboratory in December of 1964. The science department at Warren has many fields from which to choose. Warrenites interested in the physical aspects of science may elect to take physics, chemistry, physical science, and earth science. Students concerned with life science may take botany, biology, zoology, physiology, and horticulture. Dissection is a major part of the biology curriculum. Cynthia Parsons begins work on the starfish, one of a series of different species used.

Students Sharon Frost and Carol Cooper explain to the rest of the class the statements and reasons for this geometrical proof. Mathematics student Cliff Beyler receives assistance in Algebra from Tom Roberts through the Student Council’s tuto ' ing program. Warren ' s Math World The display cases throughout the school try to portray some interesting aspect of each department. Allan Merryman makes a final inspection of his work on the use of mathematics in art, an exhibit which was being displayed in the Math- ematics Department.
