Ann Arbor High School 1962 Yearbook (Ann Arbor, MI) - Full Access

Science seeks answers "We try not to let anyone graduate without hav– ing had at least one year of work in science ! These are the early years of an Atomic and Space Age. The Science Department wants to help all Ann Arbor High School students to live more effectively in such exciting and challenging times. "Few comprehensive high schools offer more sci– ence courses than we do - biology, chemistry, physics, physical science, senior science, photogra– phy, electronics theory, astronomy, and meteorology. We try to present courses to meet the needs and in– terests of all. "More than seventy-five students with special in– terests in science and mathematics have participated 22 this year in the Saturday Science Mathematics Seminar. They worked on projects or research prob– lems, and took a course in compters from University of Michigan professors. They also heard lectures from scientists of international distinction. Our laboratories are busy all day long now, and we're getting a bit crowded, but our facilities are still excellent. We have laboratories for work in biology, chemistry, physics, electronics, and photog– raphy, a greenhouse and botanical beds, several acres of woodlot and open field, a weather station, a telescope and observation deck, and the nation's first (perhaps the world's first!) planetarium to be built in a high school."
