Science Explores World Around Us To STIMULATE the student’s interest in the nature which sur- rounds them daily and to give them a basic background and appreciation of science was the primary goal of the science department. A knowledge of sci- ence aids students in making deci- sions for future goals in the field of science. In fact, many occupa- tions tend to lean more heavily on scientific techniques. Many courses are offered including: biology, chemistry, and physics. Each of these courses prepares stu- dents for their part in the modern and complex world of today.

Woodshop, Metal Trades Give Students Skills Teaching a class accompanied by flying sawdust is not easy, and making sure that students wear their safety equipment when operating machinery can be a task, but Mr. Jim Matlock and Mr. Bill Bullard have overcome the obstacles. Students in woodshop, work on such projects as bowls, tables, gavels, shelves, doorstops, lamps and cabinets, while metal trades students are instructed in the use of lathes, shapers, drill presses, milling machines and electric dis- charge machines.
