C.H.S. Offers Students Four Units in Science DlS5ECTlNG A FROG seems to be an absorbing experience for biology stu- dents Terrell, Walls, Raburn, Harper, Thomasson, Moore, and Ward. In this space age of satellites and guided mis- siles, C.H.S. students have properly shown an in- creased interest in science. Last year 83 students took advanced science courses, in addition to the l2O who took general science. This year, the number of ad- vanced science students increased to TO6, with 56 students taking biology, 40, chemistry, and lO, phy- sics, offered for the first time. One hundred twenty- five freshmen took general science, the one required science unit. General science deals with the basic problems of living and the general principles by which all scien- tists work at solving these problems. Biology is taken mainly by sophomores. lt is a brief survey of the plant and animal kingdoms and their relationship to man. Biology is valuable to students who plan to major in the natural sciences. Chemistry, taken mainly 'bw MR. JACK HOPKE, who teaches biology, chemistry, and physics, is also a sophomore class sponsor, coach of junior high basketball, and Projectionist Club advisor. He received his A.B. degree at Westminster College and M.A. at Peabody College. His outside interests are his church, his family, and gardening. This is Mr. Hopke's twenty-third year at C.H.S. MR. BILL ARMENT, in his first year at C.H.S. teaches general science and coaches football and track. He received his B.S. degree at Arkansas State College. His hobbies, he says, are duck-hunting, sleeping, and eating, by juniors, is the study of matter and its changes, and covers material which would aid students expecting to study nursing, homemaking, and pharmacy. Phy- sics, a senior subject, is designed to give an elemen- tary working knowledge of the principles of physics and to help lay the foundation for further study in science.
