P. .Mom l'6lf8C! 61, WADE M188 :L QWLP 6l5l::f WAQVL A2 Came fo gifeengefcl As the CHEMISTRY class draws to a close and the bell rings , we see nine people walk to their seat for one hour of PHYSICS. PHYSICS is the science of energy, of the transformations of energy and of its relation to matter. More of a boys' course, PHYSICS is divided broadly into mechanics, acoustics, optics, heat, electricity andmag- netism , and the constitution and properties of matter. Later on in the day we go to freshman, or GENERAL SCIENCE. Here Mr. Mathis tries desperately tc give the little green freshmen an over all picture of science. He tries to prepare them for the coming years of school. Don't fret, Mrs. Henry, we didn't forget BIOLOGY. BIOLOGY is one of the most interesting of the sciences, although it isn't really considered a science. Here you learn all about the soil, the plants, the animals, etc. After studying these, you turn to the human being and dwell upon him the rest of the year. You learn the different diseases he may have, how to control them, and many other things. All in all, the sciences are very interesting, and if you really show an interest, you can acquire valuable knowledge.

It consists of astronomy, rock structures, photography, physics and numerous other fields of interest, including atomic energy. Atomic energy has been studied and stressed versatility this year in CHEMISTRY and PHYSICS as well as SENIOR SCIENCE. An important factor in the coming generations, lt is most important for the students to realize and know a little about it. In CHEMISTRY, you mainly learn about science: that is, the study of matter and the changes which it undergoes . If you were to walk into CHEMISTRY class ln the mcrning , you might hear any of a number of things-students reciting valences, a member giving a report on the atom, or even Mr. Mathis bawling some brave person out for chewing gum!

Something interesting, Iulia? , Doug Cole and Barbara Shlnn ask. WORLD HISTORY helps gain for us a background of the world before and after the birth of Christ. The Egyptian, Babylonian, Roman, Greek, Asiatic, and Chinese empires are all studied in world history. From these empires we acquired many of our modern day cultures , inventions , and words . Let's take the word GEOGRAPHY apart and see what each letter stands for. First is G , which tells about Great Britain. E is for Europe and O for the Orient. G takes us to Germany and R to Russia. Next we travel to A for America and to mgoccizachezzar 9eIf5 aAng grealf wilflt lmfory 5f1,w!erLf5 The social science curricula in our school is mainly of a historical nature. The first gathering of the day of the social science classes is that of AMERICAN HISTORY. A class in American history may consist of studying the War Between the States, presidents, vice-presidents, French and Indian War, American. Revolution, the union of our country, purchasing of United States territories and others too numerous to mention, all of which contributed to the building of our great nation, Don't be so industrious, Larry. The rest of the geography class :seem to be finding the answer by simply discussing it. Philippines for P . H is for Hawaii and Y is for the country of Yugoslavia. Thus completing our world tour of geography. Last but far from least is the subject of WORLD PROBLEMS. You will find the classes studying about the presidency, farm problems, labor situation, and any current news . All in all social science is one great drama which we help produce. This current event movie must really be tops--you all look so inter- ested. l 20
