LAB EQUIPMENT CONTRIBUTES TO ODORS AND SMELLS IN New equipment, new students, and a staff of qualified teachers headed by Mr. Blevins started Western Branch High School's science program off on the right foot. Having taken every possible step to assure students that they would have all of the resources, aids, and apparatus they would need, the 1968-69 school year began. Lec- tures on the various lldo's and don'ts of classroom and laboratory safety were generally the first thing the eager students heard. The com- bination of determined students with excellent materials mode the first year a mixture of odors, formulas, and learning.

University of Virginia; . . Department Head, US. History, World History The beginning of our new school at W.B.H.S. brought new ideas and goals for the History Department. The courses ranged from the world patterns of geography to the fine arts of humanities. Some students studying United States and Virginia History enjoyed a field trip during the spring, while the government classes visited the' criminal courts. The mock elections were held November fourth to determine in some way how the students felt to- wards national candidates. With these approaches, the students were able to broaden their views of culture, reasoning, and values. Barbara Britt, along with other history students, attempts to discover whether or not Ponce de Leon really did dis- cover the fountain of youth.
