Mr. Paul Grieg B. A. , M. in Ed. University of Portland University of Oregon Biology, General Science Mrs. Hazel Marquess B. A. University of Oregon General Math, Physical Science Mr. James Pendleton B. in Ed. Keene Teacher's College Chemistry, Physics Science Presents Fascinating Realm Science includes a myriad of enigmas yet to be solved, and provides basic principles to be imprinted on one's mind. Our science department is one of the most challenging branches of study. Industrious students bent over test tubes, microscopes, or thick volumes enhance the atmosphere of apt learning. Although they do not delve too deeply into any one particular field, the general science classes cover diversified areas. Thus, the interests of students are challenged, and they are encouraged to continue their study of the one or more branches of science in which they may take an interest. Scholars engrossed in Biology are involved in the dissection of worms and the collection of insects. They keep notebooks in which they illustrate life cycles, classifications, living organisms, and animal structure. Chemistry is another class in which the scientific-minded may display their aptitude. Chemistry deals with the composition of substances and the transformations which they undergo. A portion of class periods are spent in the laboratory, where experiments, such as the distillation of water or the replacement of hydrogen by a metal, are conducted. Physics students concentrate their efforts on the study of the relationship between matter and energy. They, too, probe deeper into the fascinating realm of energy transformation by conducting experiments. Microscopes enable the Biology students to check the blood circulation of a frog.
