NATURAL SCIENCES Advanced Courses Reflect Modern Trends Since the launching of the first satellite, leaders of nations all over the world have become more dc| endent on science to increase national strength. In American schools, courses in scientific fields are becoming highly special- ized. Besides Everyday Chemistry and other practical sciences, second year courses are now offered to Downers students who wish to extend their knowl- edge of biology and chemistry. Physics has become more specialized and has changed from the study of classical to modern physics. Modern labs in both new and old sections of the school provide both good equipment and atmos- phere for science students. 16
