Science is the path to truths, realities The Science Department offers a large array of courses. BSCS Biology uses the inquiry approach through labs to investigate life on earth. Zoology is a comprehensive study of the animal kingdom through disection. Ecology students study the effect of man on his environment. The students participate in a quadrant study of the grounds surrounding Lincoln in the fall and spring. Chemistry gives the students an understanding of the elements, compounds, and the reactions they undergo as well as hands-on experience in labs. The basic idea behind physics is to gain knowledge of the principles and laws concerned with physics. Some highlights of the course are erecting a planetarium for the purpose of studying the stars, and an extensive study of waves and their motion. The conservation course teaches students to be conscientious sportsmen and knowledgable outdoor enthusiasts. Students learn skills in hunting, trapping, and are introduced to forestry. Mr. Ace Hendricks, a conservation teacher, was featured in the Iowa Conser- vationalist , a statewide magazine. Mrs. Judi Griffin and Mr. Ed Kern along with 52 other Des Moines teachers took part in a workship which was set up for the purpose of planning drug prevention programs in school.

Foreign languages, clubs offer variety, participation Learning to speak a foreign lan- guage can be very fulfilling and useful. There are three different languages offered at Lincoln; French, Spanish, and Latin. Tra- dition, customs and way of life are included in these course outlines. These are very fundamental lan- guages in our society today. Latin must be learned in order to become a doctor or a lawyer. Spanish is widely used in many parts of America. French is the international language and is widely used in large parts of Canada. The foreign language clubs par- ticipated in numerous activities this year. Some of those included the annual Language Day at Cen- tral College in Pella, attended by French and Spanish club members. Christmas parties were observed with gifts and exotic foods exchanged. The Ides of March, the anniversary of the stabbing of Caesar, was observed by the Latin club. 4.
