SCIENCE Science today plays an ever increasing part in our lives. New medicines are discovered, rockets and missiles are shot into space and radioactive isotopes are used. These all are advances being made in Science. The student of today is urged to take more science courses than ever before. Here at Argyle High General Science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics are offered. With the aid of several National Science Foundation scholarships Mr. Arnot has been able to acquire an up-to-date background in Biology and Chemistry. He has introduced new equipment to our classes and has taught us much about the effects of radiation upon mankind. The above picture shows Mr. Arnot showing Kenneth Daly and Ronnie Waage the correct use of a new microscope during a General Science class.
