Approach T’o The Science Classes Physics is the course for the intelligent students who are willing to work hard. Students in this class studied Concepts in Physics. This new text tried desperately to get ideas of force, momentum, velocity, and energy across to the students. Laboratory experi- ments and work sheets helped the students to have a better understanding of the subject. 1 Mrs. Margaret S.

New Textbooks Lend An Investigative To the student a knowledge of science gives needed order to the fantastic steps taken in this field every- day. Students at Eastern were supplied with this knowledge through a variety of courses. This year, students used an updated biology text- book. The material was presented in a more interest- ing way; and it introduced many subjects that the stu- dents had not studied before. Students delved into the study of life further with the dissection and com- plete study of the earthworm and frog. For those wanting to continue in their study of biology a course in advanced biology was added to the curriculum. Those students followed a detailed study on the cell and proteins, a comparative study on the grasshopper, crayfish, earthworm, frog, and cat. A unit on ecology concluded the year. Students learned through first-hand experience of observation and dissection. The chemistry classes also learned from a new text- book, An Investigative Approach to Chemistry. Students were able to learn more easily the basics of chemistry (such as the periodic chart, formulas, chemical reaction, elements, compounds, etc.) from the new book.

Diversified Vocational Program Reaches Students taking Construction Industry study carpentry, bricklaying, electronics and plumbing. This course is designated mainly for Sophomores, to prepare them for the actual construction courses they will take in the following years. In class, emphasis is placed mainly on the basic rules and funda- mentals. As a major class project they con- struct cabinets and installed water facilities. They design projects such as the electrical wiring and floor plans in houses. 1 Edward M. Burnett B.A. Vocational Education, A. T. College Masonry I Construction Industry V.1.C.A.
