of our high school experience. Science Biology, Chemistry, General Science, Science Survey and Phys- ics are the sciences taught at Strong Vincent. By taking these courses students learn about themselves, their physical make-up, and the world around them. However, the main objective of the faculty members in the Sci- ence Department is to teach their students to think scientifically. Learning formulas and solving experiments help students to use their minds, associate their ideas, and reach logical conclusions. As future citizens of tomorrow these will be valuable assets to them. Grading test papers, the typical te:-1cher's perennial pastime, is a familiar chore for biology prof Mr. Glenn Barthelson. 3 l A ,,, . ,'ie LEO ARMAGOST, B.S.: Physics, Science Survey, Science Club Adviser, National Honor Society Adviser, Open House Committee-GLEN N BARTH ELSON, B.-S.: Biology, J.
