i 'I' H If 'l' l G F R 1 1 BIOLOGY DEPARTMENT The biology department is composed of students studying biology. During the year occasional field trips are taken which are of interest to the particular topic being studied at that time. One of the interesting visits was to the dairy to study bacteria and their relation to milk as may be found in pasteurization. Another outstanding event of the year was the honor and privilege to celebrate the Washington Bi- centennial in behalf of the entire Senior High School by carrying out the Arbor day program in planting the Washington Bicentennial tree at the south end of the building. This American Elm tree is provided with an appropriate marker that will not interfere with growth and yet will be enlightening to students in fu- ture years.
