Mrs. Helen Guice teaches junior high science. Air and water pollution, strip mines and other examples of man ' s abuse against nature make people more aware of the world in which they live. In becoming more aware of the delicate balance man must maintain with nature, people realize how important the sciences are. There are three main branches of science taught at MJHS; basic sci- ence courses, biology and chemistry. Basic science, taught in junior high, emphasizes an understanding of the principles of physical laws. Biology is taught for the student who wants to learn about the plant and animal kingdoms and the rela- tionship between the two. It is in bi- ology that one begins to understand the delicate balance man must main- tain with nature in order to survive. In chemistry the composition of substances and their transformations are studied. Miss Jetta Bradley and Mr. Frank Ingram. Miss Bradley teaches biology and chemistry, and Mr. Ingram teaches ninth grade science. 21
