v nderstanding The H ow and Why Students at Bogalusa l-ligh are re- quired to take two full years of sci- ence. But like so many students, some take all four offered courses, from general science, as a freshman, to bi- ology as a sophomore. Then some of the students proceed to chemistry and then on to Physics. The general science course takes in a broad range of related subjects. Bi- ology includes the study of physiology and the anatomy of plants and ani- mals. Chemistry, a more advanced science, deals with chemicals, formu- las, and detailed work with the peri- odic table. Experiments are also a major part of this study. l. Science Fair Winners. 2.

Practice Makes Perfect Mathematics is a highly special- ized and complicated subject that re- quires an excessive amount of devo- tion. Precision and accuracy are a definite necessity. The course itself is an exception in that it does not get easier as one becomes more familiar with it. The deeper one gets into the format, the more involved and more rigid it becomes. The one thing that does make it easier is familiarity and practice. The only time a concept be- comes easy is when one has worked a problem a countless number of times. 1.

Students Read of Present, Past It has been said that man learns from his past mistakes. A study of his- tory, not only of such tragedies as wars, revolutions, recessions, and famines, but of such triumphs as treaties, break- throughs in medicine and law, and the gain of freedom, teaches us much about our future. The study of how our government works-and why-is definitely neces- sary to insure that we will be able to properly function in a world that is be- coming increasingly difficult to under- stand. American history is just as the name describes-the study of the history of the United States from the landing of the Pilgrims to current events. Civics is more specifically a study of United States politics, including the rights of American citizens and how a bill is passed. This class keeps students up to date with the news. Free enterprise is not a study of gov- ernment, but of U.S. free enterprise and capitalism, meaning that citizens control businesses, not the government. World history, sociology, and geog- raphy, though not required courses, are also very educational. These classes help us in relating to others and in un- derstanding one's own self and values. 1. Trula Haley and Ximaena Thomas work to- gether on an American History project. 2. Bryan Phillips and Patrick Foster explain the Declara- tion of Independence to the Civics Class. 3.
