Science Members of Mr. Classon's Biology class make full use of the modern scientific equipment in the laboratory. Not one of us would be here today if it weren't for the law of gravity. Yet some say such a law is not worth studying. Anything is worth studying that can be applied to every- day living. Harness your dreams and apply your theories for common use in the home and industry. Before graduation from Davenport High School, students must have one year of science. This science is invaluable, for it is a basic element in many fields. Biology enables one to learn more about plant and animal life; Physiology concerns the The Natural Science teachers.
