HEMISTRY deals with the composition of matter, along with its characteristics and chemi- cal changes. As an outgrowth of study and ex- periment, the student comes to understand more fully the tremendous significance of the place of chemistry in the twentieth century. But of far deeper significance is the student's recognition of the infinite power of Cod, the Creator, as expressed in Psalm 8:3, 4, When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained, what is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the , son of man, that Thou visitest him? f 'Qui Mr. James Henderson Cole, B.S., M.S. PHYSIOCRAPHY, an all-inclusive study of man's physical environment, combines a survey of meteorol- ogy, mineralogy, oceanography, geology, and typography. Through the use of charts and maps, the student can visualize more clearly the earth's strata and the processes at work in God's creation. Pupils in the physiography class are encouraged to do further research as they are intrigued by the fascinating examples of rocks and minerals on display in the new science classroom. MECHANICAL DRAWING not only teaches the students the fundamentals of engineering, but also develops preciseness, manual dexterity, and a mastery of form and proportion. In addition to the required exercises, the students are given opportunities to do examples of creative designing. 1

.yor llze gferg of god With a God-given pattern and purpose, Dr. and Mrs. Pierre Wilds DuBose founded in 1934 a Christ-centered, co-educational, interdcnominational, college-preparatory high school, and named it Hampden DuBose Academy in honor of the founder's father, Dr. Hampden Coit DuBose, a pioneer missionary to China, whose life is recorded in a book entitled, For the Glory of God. This title signifies also the purpose of the school, that day by day every phase of the work might glorify Him now, and that in the years to come the young people, trained in eternal values by a consecrated faculty and staff, might go out into all parts of the world to glorify Him on the mission field, in the ministry, and in the business and professional world. Following the injunction of God, repeated four times in Scripture - Habakkuk 214, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, and Hebrews 10:38 - The just shall live by faith, and inspired by the life and works of others who had stepped out on the promises of God and found them true, as George Muller, Hudson Tay1or,.and particularly Amy Carmichael and her book, Meal in a Barrel, Dr. and Mrs. DuBose carefully followed the pattern of complete trust in Him, making each need known to God alone and not to man. This is true, not only for the school, but for each member of the faculty and staff to whom God has given the same vision, for each one, in- dividually, looks to the Lord for the supply of every need. This life of faith has drawn each member of the personnel of the school close to the Lord - and the thrill of experiencing the abundant provision of God, both spiritual and material, and the joy of seeing Him work by the power of His Holy Spirit in the lives of the young people would not be exchanged by any of those whom He has called into this work. That He is faithful that promised, Heb. 10:23, and that there hath not failed one word of all His good promise, I Kings 8:56, is abundantly evident in the beautiful two-hundred-acre campus with its lovely and comfortable dormitories, well-equipped classrooms, library, studio, recreational center, and auditorium. The glory of God is shown in the physical beauty of the campus, for the lovely formal gardens and lawns, the gorgeous spreading shade trees, the graceful palms and exotic semi-tropic plants and liowers, and the flourishing and healthful citrus groves all clearly reveal His handiwork. The clear, placid waters of Lake Margaret mirror the beauties of the Florida sky, and afford rc- freshing water sports - swimming, boating, watercycling, sailing- or skimming along behind the boats on the water skis, aquaplanc, or water toboggan. But above the sheer enjoyment of the beauty of the physical aspects of the school is the deep joy of seeing the work of God in the lives of the young people as they are yielded to Him and more and more conformed to the image of Christ, and Hlled with the constraining love to win others to Him. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10. What greater evidence of the power and blessing of God than in lives yielded to Him and used for His glory! This was the goal of the pattern on the mountn given to the founders of the Academy - precious trophies to lay at the feet of the Master, an eternal reality even now to Dr. DuBose, who entered the presence of -the Lord on December 15, 1959, and the spiritual vision and motivation of those who remain to continue the work, with the pattern unchanged, For the Glory of God.

?IOLOGY, the science which reveals the miracle of life, correlates the facts of the textbook with the vivid examples of Cod's creation on the spacious Academy campus. The display cases in the new science classroom hold collections which typify those made by students on class observation walks or by students who have accumulated specimens through individual research. All the classroom study tums the students, attention to the everlasting truth that . . by Him were all things created that are in the heaven, and that are in earth . . Colossians l:16a.

HYSICS offers the basic principles by which electricity, light, heat, and atomic power are put to practical use. Through the use of the modern equipment in the new science building, the students learn through supervised laboratory experiments to apply the laws of physics. GENERAL SCIENCE, a foundation course for scientific studies, demonstrates how scientific principles are applied to everyday uses and prepares the freshman student for further study in more technical courses in science.
