Each year science plays a more important role in our daily lives. The curriculum of general science, biology, chemistry, and physics helps students to understand and make better use of the increasing advantages offered to us through science. General science offers a fundamental introduction to many branches of scientific studies ranging from geology to meteorology, therefore allowing students to grasp the basic meaning of various sciences employed by us each day. Biology involves the study of all living orga- nisms and their activities, Chemistry is the study of ma- terials found on the earth, to determine their atomic and molecular structure and changes that occur in them, Physics involves matter and energy in the form of mechanics heat, light, sound, electricity and magnetism. These subjects give students an insight into the principles indispensable for life in the seventies, MRS. RUBY HARDEN Chairman MRS . EDNA COBB SCIE C MRS . ESTHER GILBERT
