While Future Scientists Learn About Nature RICHARD BUCK Science, Phy-Ed Photography is Mr. Buck's l.obby. He usually could be found in the school dark room. W ho would not like a class where he is surprised with a Bunsen burner Christmas tree one morning and an explosion the next? This class was chemistry which is a study of the atomic and molecular composition of matter. This vear. as even year, there was breaking of test tubes, acid burns on the hands and holes burned in clothes, all of which played an important part in fostering cautious judgment. Those who had arrived thus far went on to physics, which consists of studying physical changes and effects of matter and energy. Tins class also included laboratory work which gave the students a chance to apply the principles of physics. Amid facts, figures and formulas the math department stood ready to solve problems that we run into during everyday life. Offered at W'ayzata High School arc plane geometry, advanced algebra, solid geometry and trigonometry, which provide the necessary credits for college entrance requirements. ARVID DITTBENNER Science Instead of saving toads and lizards and rocks like ordinary science teachers. Mr. Dittbenner collects stamps.

'Hie department aims to encourage open-mindedness and cultivate scientific curiosity. It begins with general science, which includes everything from mechanics to zoology. Reaching senior high, students decide themselves whether or not they will include biology, chemistry or physics in their curriculum. The smen of formaldehyde, the legs of a centipede, a tired piece of algae—these arc marks of the biolog)- department. It takes a good strong stomach to get through this course. Biology deals with the plant and animal kingdoms; consequently, students roamed the outdoors in search of interesting subjects, man) times returning with scratched legs and burrs in their clothes.
