PHYSICAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Do cosmic rays intrigue you? Would you like to know more about the atom? What is a nucleus? Chemistry students find the answers to these questions and many others ranging from the reason that fudge hardens to the method for finding the simplest possible formula of a com- pound. The motion of the universe is one of the topics covered by physics students. They also delve into the secrets of a prism, light waves, heat, motion, gravity. These sciences and electronics have laboratory periods when students prove certain fundamen- tal laws by experimentation.

NATURAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Between the fun of naming skeletons and chasing bugs with nets, Shortridge biology stu- dents learn more about living organisms and the functions of the body. While botany students study the structure of flowers, geology pupils tap rocks and learn the difference between sedimentary rocks and vol- canic lava. Zoology students learn about the biology of animalsg physiology classes chart the functions of the body. Physiography explains the develop- ment of the earth's surface through the ages. Psychology students analyze their friends to dis- cover what kind of minds they possess.

Shortridge students learn to speak these languages in the classroom. Although Latin is no longer a spoken language, its influences are widely felt since it is back- ground for French, Spanish, and English. Latin students receive an excellent vocabulary and a good English foundation. Greek, not offered by many schools, is given to advanced Latin students. Latin and Greek derivatives, a word study course, is offered to juniors and seniors. Nl X1'll I-'Xl'l'l.'l'YfI'luu l Xl: I lmim.

Here, the future engineers, astrono- mers, physicists, chemists, and mathematicians of tomorrow get basic training in courses ranging from 9B arithmetic to solid geometry, college algebra, analytical geometry, and trigonometry. Shortridge mathematics students apply their knowledge to win coveted places in the state math contests and to acquire top scores on schol- arship tests and college board examinations. Above all, math courses teach students how to reason logically.
