WENDELL K, LISLE Life Science Drake University In a year punctuated by reports of moon rockets and the Geophysical year, Chula Vista's science department in- creased not only in size but in quality and scope. This year there were six chemistry classes, two physics classes, nine biology classes, two photography classes, four world science classes, and nine life science classes. Coupled with science was the homemaking program, which offer- ed courses in clothing, cooking, and home management. Of added interest was the radiological equipment donated to the physics classes by the county civil defense program. Also this year, in order to receive an A or B in any science course, a student had to complete a research proiect em- ploying a three dimensional display.. Besides the acceleration of chemistry and physics brought on by the dawn of the rocket age, a great increase was noted in interest in the natural sciences where many top scientists feel the next great breakthrough in the science field will occur.
