Research-Theory and Applied North's scientifically minded students are greatly indebted to the group of teachers in the science department for interesting them in such a wide and varied field as science offers. To some, the odors issuing from the Chemistry laboratory at frequent inter- vals are a disagreeable nuisance. To those who are experimenting they mean success or failure. Chemistry is concerned with the changes that take place forming new substances through chemical reactions. However, the science department is not all concerned with chemistry. Another very interesting part is the study of physical geography. This is a science which treats of the natural features of the earth and their relation to life. It aims to show man his relation to and dependence upon the phenomena of nature. Still a third division of the science de- partment is that of physics. Equipped with a knowledge of this subject, you could cal- culate how much energy you expended in turning the pages of this yearbook.
