Many questions are answered, and of course, many are left unanswered. Perhaps in the more special- ized fields they will become clearer, and perhaps we will be the ones to find the answers. It is the student with the desire to know why that makes the scientist of tomorrow. Biology is the base for plant and animal study. Zoology, using as one of its tools dissection, delves still deeper into animal life. Chemistry gives students the formulas and nuclear laws which help to preserve life. Finally, there is Physics, which is the most advanced science offered. With these fine subjects, a well-rounded scientific education is offered for the future scientists among us. Students are involved in many chemi- stry experiments.
