new Science and Math courses The Math and Science Departments did their best to offer every student the best in science and mathematics. The Biology section became highly specified when it now offered two dif- ferent courses. Yellow Biology is the chemical study of plants and animals.

A new addition to the science department was Advanced Physical Science which allowed the student to choose his field and devel- op it in his own way.
