In high school We are introduced to the general fields which will enable us to experience the thrill of discovery and to establish a background for expanded study in college. Sophomore biology proves to be an interesting and im- portant project. We learn about plants, the human body, and the procedure for dissecting worms and frogs. Later, We may take chemistry which proves to be a fascinating subject. In this class, technique is of extreme importance and we experi- ence the shock of breaking our first test tube, and the thrill of identifying our first unknown. Man is trying to reach the moon, but there are many formi- dable complications. In our physics class we begin to com- prehend the enormity of this project as we study the properties of matter and the force of gravity. The latest addition to our science department is a class in psychology. Such a study is increasingly valuable in helping people approach social problems in an objective manner. Stu- dents are immediately involved in experiments concerning lead- ership, mental health, friendship, love, and our social attitudes. As you leaf through the following pages, we are sure you'll find a class which will intrigue you. 25
