Science and Mathematics...Science is a field for everyone and anyone who is curious about Why and how things happen, Everything that happens has been caused by something else, and part of the scientist's job is to try to understand this relation. Through instruction in biology, physics, and chemistry, startling aspects of worldwide consequence are revealed about this age of scientific advancement. The science of numbers and how they work is exciting, very much alive, and as useful and practical as any tool. Through capable teaching, the classical branches of mathematics and their most up-to-date advances take understandable form. Curriculiun offerings include algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and advanced math. The curriculum at L. V. was planned so that every student received carefully guided instruction in these two challenging areas. The programs regulated the depth with which the student studied in both fields. Every individual was exposed to the basic concepts, but only his ability limited his depth of study. Mr. Mabon . . Mr. Gerald E. Page McCreery Bachelor of Science Bachelor of Science Mr. LeRoy D.
