Reading; A Way To Explore Students who take reading want to enter new worlds and explore different things. By taking this class not only do they enjoy what they do but also ex- pand their vocabulary, improve their grammar, and develop their own spe- cial style of writing by combining all the different styles they have encountered by reading. Reading is a very enlight- ening subject which helps students comprehend their life surroundings better. r a iim! -M«i Paul Harrel (above).

Science Is Misunderstood Science is a misunderstood subject. Very few people feel sure about it. Many people find it interesting, wtiile others find it quite difficult. When look- ing beyond first impressions, science really is an enlightening subject, where a range of discoveries are waiting to be made. Through the science program and its many subjects, students can become involved with the unknown. One se- mester of life science is required. Phys- ical science, Geology Oceanography, or Climatology Astronomy, can fill the physical science requirement. Life sci- ence can be explored through life sci- ence and health classes. Cellular Biology, Physiology, Chem- istry, and Physics are the most difficult classes. They are usually taken by col- lege prep students. Cellular Biology and Physiology are an extension to life science where disecting and micro- scopes help in teaching about the body and its functions. Chemistry and Physics are advanced physical science classes where experiments and the an- nual egg drop are highlights of the year. These classes also convey the learning of the environment and why things happen. Students and teachers alike feel that science is an important part of life and learning. -i -. , v Jim Simpson (lop) Cellular Biology. Life Sci- ence. Coordinator.
