Students Unlock Secrets of Chemistry, Physics Sieve Nagy ami John Marlin, junior chemists, await the final reaction of a complicated experiment. Mr. Leckronc, teacher, looks on. Clouds of smoke and bright flashes may be found about the chemistry class as the junior scientists study about the chemical composition of matter. The course is designed to deal in the historical, theoretical, and practical aspects of chemical science. Students also learn proper techniques and safety in the lab. Physics, the father of sciences, is basically the study of the physical nature of matter. Time, space, and energy are only a few of the fields dis- cussed in physics class. At least an hour each week is spent in the lab, where students learn how to use everything from rulers to analytical balances. In the senior physics class, John Negovetich explains to Dennis Wozniczka the use of the incline plane, a helpful instrument. Mr. Leckronc, physics instructor, listens for the correct explanation.
