Science Was A Subject That Yielded Discovery The Science Dept, includes several varied fields of study. The required course for all freshmen is physical science. It teaches the basics of science courses that will be taken in future years. Biology is taken in the sophomore year. The biology student studies life forms and their relationships with each other. If one wishes to further his scientific educa- tion, physics, chemistry, and Directed Independent Study For Medical Career Students, are offered. Physics consists of the study of nature’s laws and how forces act on matter. In chemistry, the student learns about the different elements and the ways in which they react. Directed Indepen- dent Study for Medical Career Students is an advanced biology and anatomy course. One of our most recent courses in science is the photography class. In here students got the opportunity to follow the picture from the snapping of the shutter to the finished product. They got a chance to take their own pictures and develop them. To put it plainly the science student graduating from Bandys has a good understanding of the world around him. Top Right: John Caldwell demonstrated how to do this activity. Bottom Left: Mr. Hilderbran explained the elasticity constant of a spring. Bottom Right: Aldric Fishe and Rosalin Gibson tried their hand at burning bones in physical science class. 20

The Science Participated In The Science Club was a very active one. Under the leadership of John Caldwell and Everett Caldwell, the members got a chance to go out and actually experience many of the dif- ferent branches of science. They’ve gone on many interesting field trips to such places as the North Carolina Zoological Park and to the Science Fair at Clemson University.
