Mrs. Ruby T. Rich, Miss Merle Etta Lancaster XVith courses in general science, biology, chemistry, and physics, our science depart- ment works diligently to prepare us to meet the demands of a scientific world. ln general science we leam how basic principles are applied to everyday life. With this founda- tion laid, we progress to biology, a study of the remarkable world of living organisms. Chemistry and physics then acquaint us with the structure and behavior of all matter. In this total program each student is encouraged to explore scientific materials outside the classroom. An opportunity for exploration comes annually with the Science Fair. Stu- dents arc required to enter projects pertain- ing to their respective science courses, and from these entries division winners are chosen. Curiosity and thinking ability, two prerequisites for success in any scientific field, are stimulated through these projects We investigate the mysteries of living organisms, We make models from our discoveries. 20
