Odors and Dissection Fascinate Science Students The science department had an extensive and expanding program; it included courses in physical science, chemistry, biology, and physics. Chemistry students this year were introduced to a new teacher, Mr. James Hembre. Students set earnestly to work learning scientific laws and periodic charts. They discovered the correct way to boil water and how to compute mole fractions. Perhaps the odors escaping this classroom were not os pleasing as those of the home economics class down the hall, however, the juniors and seniors taking chemistry didn't seem to mind. The biology courses were directed by Mr. Duane Bittle and Mr. Cedric Dettlof. Though squeamish at first, the students enjoyed the traditional dissection of worms, clams, and learned the various cell structures through microscopic scrutiny. Physical science classes studied a wide scientific range which included astronomy and the earth sciences. The classes, under the competent direction of Mr. Leland Fretheim and Mr. Lowell Kleppe, were a demonstration course, but next year will become a laboratory course. Mr. Cedric Dettlof taught two classes of earnest physics students. They studied theoretical science laws and performed various experiments including floating various objects in water at any chosen level and bending glass with bare hands. The science department staff is now preparing for the revisions that will be made in the courses next year in the move to the new senior high building. 14 ■'Hydrochloric acid, vintage 1919.

At Wayzata High it included everything from cave drawings to the Boston Tea Party to Communism to the problems of juvenile delinquency. The freshmen studied the functioning of local government and did some vocational planning, while the sophomores were instilled with patriotic zeal as they learned about America's past.
