Students spend much of their time in the laboratory and gain valuable experience dissection and analysis. They learn to take blood counts, blood tests and have the opportunity to learn of such scientific methods as an electrocardiogram. Also among their helpful and valuable experiments are tests for high blood pressure and diabetes. At right Nancy Scott and louise Patterson demon- strate their skill with dissection tools for our photo- grapher. HXHZUHI' Biology is the study of animal and plant life and is helpful in Lmderstanding nature that surroimds us in our daily life. Biology is offered primarily to sophomores and may be used as one of two years of required laboratory science. This course, under the able guidance of Mr. Gerald Kirk has much to offer the student of our high school whether he plans further education after high school or not.

Chemistry students Bob Bowden and Rodney Armstrong seek help from 'he chart of atoms. PHYS! 5' Physics is a study of matter and energy. The course is divided into fields of mechanics, sound, light, electricity, electronics, and nuclear energy. This science is recommended for those interested in engineering or science careers. One of Mr. Wilson's physics tests causes wrinkled brows in this 2nd hour physics class. Physics students Sue Dotson, Bob Bowden, Lawrence Pense and Robert Vogt set up equip- ment for a physics experiment.
