Physical Sciences and Math Every year, as more students realize the importance of math in the present- day world, our classes in this area grow in size and number. Five courses are offered, from beginning algebra — which is the basic math course — to trigonome- try, which deals primarily with angles. (Jne year each of high school physics and chemistry is offered here. Many students study chemistry, for it is important in many fields of work. The chemis- try classes spend many profitable hours in the lab applying their knowledge. There are fewer students in the physics class, because it is the more difficult of the two, requiring more advanced math. This year, there were eleven in the class. Physics covers several topics — such as light, sound, electricity, and atom structure. Many interesting periods are used in the lab to discover the properties of matter and energy.
