Science Classes Launched by the Soviet Union in October of 1957, Sputnik I, the first manmade satellite to orbit the earth, threw the world into a study of science, a study whose intensity was unparalleled in the history of mankind. James River offers its students an opportunity to obtain a taste of each of the principal sciences: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Through biology, students evolve a theory of the origin, development, structure, and functions of plants and animals; through chemistry, an understanding of the composition of substances; and through physics, a knowledge of the phenomena of matter and energy and the physical changes in matter. Mr. Hundley explained a tricky problem to his students in Advanced Biology. Ronald Biggs tried an experiment in Miss Eubank ' s Chemistry class. Miss Eubank relaxed with her students while they awaited the ringing of the bell. 28 These students learned to concentrate on their lessons in Mrs. Paine ' s General Science class.
