HISTORY--BA NDOFOUIZI-IEIPIVXGE History brings events of the past down to the present, and by a knowledge of what has happened and is happening we are better able to meet our new tomorrows. Ninth graders begin their high school history studies with Civics. World History is offered primarily for tenth graders. American History is required of all and is recommended for the eleventh grade. American Problems is offered on the twelfth grade level as an elective course. Through studying the footprints of our fore- fathers, we are better prepared to go into the future and make our own footprints on the sands of time.

SCIENCE- CQ-- In today's world, many mathematicians and scientists are needed to further the progress of our nation and of ourselves. In the Science department of Greenwood, students studied many sciences concerned with the world and life upon it. Through seventh grade science, biology, general science, and chemistry, students gained much knowledge of these things. The Mathematics department stressed the importance of basic fundamentals of arithmetic, beginning and ad- vanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trig- onometry. ' This isn't quite what we expected! think Donald Fuson and Margaret Scott as they, along with Dr. Henderson, watch their Giant Sparl-der explode during a Chemistry lab period. We need to heat it slowly so we can observe everything that happens, explains Dr. Hender- son to Mary Donica and Cathy Savage as he performs a General Science demonstration.
