The Watergate hearings and the current issues discussed in the guber- natorial race have touched the lives of all of us. The courses offered through the Social Science department give the students a chance to look critically at these and other problems in our world. They may analyze these events in terms of historic importance, their legality and the political pressures which influenced them. The courses examine the content in terms of how the events affect people, the influence of blacks in America or how the world reacts to the events in our country.

Science Richard D. Monfort B.S., State University of New York; M.Ed., University of Virginia Biology I, II, Science Club Cracked test-tubes, shattered coverslips, wandering fruitflies, appal- ling odors, and unexpected explosions are just a few of the occurrences that help keep us on our toes in the chal- lenging programs our Science de- partment offers. However we soon learn that these bumps along the road must be traveled over if we are to give some order to the intricate formulas, the lengthy lab reports, and the mul- titude of minute facts that partially compose the often chaotic world of science encountered for at least fifty minutes each day. Hopefully the per- severance will pay off and it will lead to a broader understanding of the hows and whys of science and even life itself. Thomas M.
