'ii Science Students Discover New World x Because of the increased interest in science and the added emphasis on science caused by space flights, medical research, and college entrance re- quirements, science courses at Central have become more popular. Biology I or General Science are required of the Freshmen. Biology pupils study methods of soil con- servation, the structure of plant and animal cells, and the fundamental principles of heredity. A new course, Biology ll, was added this year. Chemistry, offered to juniors and seniors, is the study of the science of chemical changes.
