And cience Aimed to Train the ind At Danville High a student could start as a freshman and study science for four years. General Science was taken in the freshman year and took up the study and review of science principles brought to light in the grades. Sophomores studied biology. Here they studied life and the functions connected with it. In the third year, DHS students could take either chemistry or physics. The composition and reactions of substances making up our universe came under close scrutiny in chem- istry. The physics students studied the forces and laws of nature. Both subjects were made more interesting by class demonstrations and experiments. Those students in the science department could often tie in what they had learned in Mathematics with their scientific studies. Ed Carter and Roger Schleuter worked out a problem dealing with prisms in physics lab. Page Twenty-nine
