SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Seatep, Lert to Ricut: Mr. A. E. C. Oliver, Miss Eileen Fitzgerald, Mr. Howard Lynch, and Miss Emma Battis. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT This year the science department has continued to offer its excellent courses in chemistry, biology, physiology, and physics. To these courses, physics review has been added for the purpose of giving additional physics preparation to those who plan to take engineering or advanced physics courses in college. A knowledge of the fundamentals of chemistry is useful in almost any field and is essential as background in undertaking the study of a profes- sion, such as pharmacy, which directly involves chemical compounds and mixtures. Biology is im- portant in itself, and can also be a stepping stone to the study of such fields as zoology and botany. The physiology course is an important aid in taking care of oneself properly, and it has proved invalu- 24 able to girls entering the nursing profession. Physics is important not only because of the prac- tical value of knowing the principles of matter and energy, but also because physics includes two sci- ences which will be essential to the future as well as the present: electronics and atomic energy. For those interested in electronics, the Classical science department has obtained instruments for testing radio parts, and a Geiger counter has been acquired for the benefit of those interested in atomic energy. Credit for the continued excellence of our science department goes to the department head, Mr. H. Howard Lynch, and his colleagues: Miss Emma Battis, Miss Eileen Fitzgerald, and Mr. Aleph FE. C. Oliver.
