A general background is necessary to speak intelligently about earth satellites and missiles which are becoming common words in the Eng- lish language. General science courses, required in the eighth and ninth grades, prepared students lor the more detailed courses ollered in senior high. Living science was emphasized in the eighth grade as names and structures ol' living plants and animals were sttulied. Plants and animals, which included hamsters and an aquarium, were observed. Class demonstrations also added in' terest to class work. Individual projects, which showed six hours of work, were required for A and B students. A written paper, chart and a model composed the project. Matter and energy, electricty, heat and light, sound, and simple machines were some of the units covered by the ninth graders. An interesting addition to the classes was a colored television set, which was borrowed for a week from a local firm. Demonstrations were given and students were given the opportunity to adjust the set, observing the changes in color. Thirty percent of the ninth graders prepared projects lor the Science Fair held in March. Many hours ol' planning were prerequisites to a well-planned and well-constructed project.

For International Geophysical Year Biology was required for all sophomores thus completing their laboratory science credit neces- sary for graduation. 'l'he study ol' plant and animal life included zt study of their structure. Collections made by students early in the fall introduced them to insects and leaves native to the area. Leaves were displayed in booklets and insects were preserved and then classified. llisection of earthworms and frogs proved to be interesting work. A frog's heart was observed when it was preserved in solution. Chemistry and physics could be taken in any sequence by juniors and seniors who wanted to further their science background. 'lhrough laboratory experiments, chemistry students observed chemical reactions. Many hours of student participation proved helpful as students studied the physical and chemical prop- erties of elements. The different types of reac- tions were observed and written in formulas. Physics, the science of matter, motion and energy, became more familiar as experiments were conducted, manuals were filled in and problems were solved. General physics laws were applied to the stttdy of matter and energy, sound, light, machines and electricity. NVith the new emphasis being placed on sci- ence courses today, students will find the sci- entific background helpful to them as they en' ICI' the changing world in which they live.
