The Sciences The boundless opportunities to ex- olore and develop the component divisions of the field of science pose a challenge to many of the col- lege students. Every day new discoveries open un- known doors into different aspects of the natural elements which have existed since the beginning of time. Although as broad as the universe itself, the sci- ence subjects may be divided into the three special- ized areas of biology, chemistry, and physics. Biology provides a knowledge of the structure and functions of animals and plants. The composition and transformation of substances is within the scope of chemistry while the physics student learns of physical compositions of his sur- rounding environment. The mysteries of resistors, inductors, and vocuHm tubes and their function in radio and television sets are explained by Prof. Hubert M. Custer, instructor in physics, to his class in Practical Electronics. Left: Dr. Charles Apgor, head of the biology department, discusses his adventures in searching for new specimens for the department with three students — Richard Cos- tick, James Chose, and Jacob Messner.

The cultivation of individual Christian attitudes and personal convictions is one aim of a college education which is intended to de- velop every phase of the student ' s life. Future church leaders and laymen are enabled to continue their studies of the Scriptures and philosophical thinking from the fundamental knowledge provided in Bible classes. The singing of the great hymns of the church, read- ing of the Scriptures, and prayer in the many reli- gious services instill the desire for worship and per- sonal devotion. Experience gained from cooperation in planning programs, participating in worship services, and dis- cussing personal ideals and convictions will prove invaluable to future service and leadership. Audrey Kilhefner and John Fisher discuss an assignment with Mar- tha M. Martin, instructor in Bible, after Biblical Literature class. Professor Robert A. Byerly, Director of Religious Activi- ties, and Jay Gibble, president of SCA, discuss plans for an early fall retreat to Camp Swatara.

Barbara Loban, R.N., Dr. Weaver ' s ossistant, records student progress. ' -- ' EDICATED to service in one of the healing arts, prospective laboratory technicians, ' nurses, and medical secretaries integrate scientific and cultural education in foundation courses in the liberal arts. Knowledge of fundamental medical practices gained in her campus course in medical techniques prepares the medical secretary for a position in a physician ' s office or hospital. For the technicians and nurses the laboratory and hospital are the molds which develop the techniques and skills necessary to prepare them for successful professional life. The Healing Arts The heat of a bunsen burner . . . water boiling in a beaker . . . the beginning procedure in an experiment is performed by Glenn Crum. Phares Hertzog, instructor in chemistry, checks the equipment and method to see that all is in order. Women in white ot York hlospital, York, Pa., work toward their degree of B.S. in Nursing by taking college extension work at the hospital.
