The practical benefits which have emanated from discoveries mode in chemis- try and physics, for example, extend to nearly every- thing connected with daily life. Every notable modern invention has had its origin in a new application of the laws of science. The immense success of science is due to the way in which it seeks, finds, and tests knowledge. More valua- ble than any of its discoveries are its effective methods, which make still greater achievements possible. The various science courses offered to the student in high school extend a challenge to learn and practice the scientific method. Nannette Kincade and Richard Easley study the revolution of the sun and planets in gen- ' eral science. MR. HARRY BURSON Bowling Green State, B.S. in Science Defiance College, B.S. in Ed.

On the higher mathematical levels, as students progress through algebra, geometry, and trigo- nometry, they learn the fundamentals of lines, angles, planes, and solids. They also study fractional linear, and quadratic equations, the use of radicals and exponents, and the functions of angles. The new advanced mathematics course is outlined for the superior math student and v ' ill place him in a much more favorable position to do college work in mathematical and scientific areas. Thus the teaching of mathematics will always form an important part of our educational system. Dicl Cunningham practices the graphing process. IN LOGICAL COMPUTATION MR.

Defiance College Bowling Green State Biology Physiology Sophomore adviser Visual Education, assistant adviser General science introduces basic scientific principles to the student. Biology presents a complete picture of the life processes of plants and animals. Physiology deals with the complex study of the human body. While studying chemistry, a student learns not only its application to our daily life, but also a conception of more advanced chemical principles. Physics gives the student an understanding of matter and motion, which includes mechanics, heat, light, electricity, and sound. Dick Wosnich and John Miller work on a perplexing physics experiment.
