tion learned in both the most common and the least expected situations, as well as being able to impress just about anyone they choose. Teachers within the department boast about the positive attitudes from the stu- dents. Many extras have been added to the curriculum such as police visits. The Social Science department is one of the best at Blair!

They Blinded U With Seie ce All students at Blair take science some time during their four years. Whether it's for college preparation or just meeting graduation requirements. The Science De- partment manages to please just about ev- erybody. those who are science-oriented and those who are not. The majority of the students seem to prefer life sciences to physical sciences, I I I though both have good enrollments. There is something about a knife and a dead frog that can grip the attention of any unnatural-born scientist as well as fas- cinate the natural borns.

As requirements from graduation and colleges increase our science department becomes stronger. Due to the require- ments we are looking towards the future and seeing more people enrolled in our various science offerings. 1 I I I I I I I I I I I Tx l9S Science ..
