Students Develop Scientific Know-How Science Pete and Prudy's scientific thinking, so vital nowa- days. started hack when they were freshmen in general science class. There they were presented with a back- ground for the next three years of advanced science courses. Biology came along in their sophomore year with its leaf and insect collections. That also was the year of wonder as they identified the many hones which make up the human skeleton. Then came the year in which they filled the halls with the smell of rotten eggs. This was chemistry where they did experiments with hydrogen sulfide. Poor Pete had an unhappy experience in this course. He for- got that he should pour concentrated sulfuric acid into water and not vice versa. This resulted in a desk top bubbling with spattered sulfuric acid. Finally our unwary enthusiasts wound themselves in pulley ropes and poked their fingers into some innocent-looking conductors of electricity. They con- cluded physics, along with many of the rest of us, and looked forward to a glowing future in the field of sci- ence because they had a good background behind them. K' .

Perhaps the recent comparing of Russian and American schools has influenced this growing interest. This year, the course offered to third year advanced mathematics students has been changed from one semester of Solid Geometry and a semester of Advanced Al- gebra to one year of Advanced Algebra. With less crowded conditions at Wlauke- sha High School, better grades and more effort on the part of the students prevails, INTRIGIQED BY THIS GEOMETRICAL DISPLAY, Ken Howard and John Houser discuss the construction of one of the items.
