Night Courses Geared to Community Need NATURAL SCIE CE Three new night courses were offered through the Natural Sci- ence Division this past year. They were Landscape Design, Hor- ticulture and Interior Decorating. A concerted effort was made to offer these courses at night to give the part time student the opportunity to take them. These type courses are the most use- ful outside of college and were designed to meet the immediate needs of individuals, the adult student as well as the full time student. Laboratories at the off-campus centers at Palestine, Terrell and Coffield were outfitted with additional equipment. New microscopes and steropes were added which made those labs comparable to the campus labs in updated equipment. For the Anatomy and Physiology class an actual skeleton, molded from plastic , was bought. This was very helpful to stu- dents in learning the anatomy . Muscles and internal organs will be added later to make the study more complete. The course in Anatomy and Physiology was modified so that the course be taken for the P. E. course Kinesiology. This was the first year that Kinesiology was offered. One scholarship was given in Biology and one scholarship was given in Home Economics through the Natural Science Division this past year. Fred Adams explains procedure in Biology Lab The Natural Science Division consists of six faculty members with three teaching off-campus classes and three teaching across departmental lines. Fred Adams taught Photography , Glenn Reynolds taught Real Estate and Colonel Mills taught Ranch Management. lu.. Biology Lab Students work hard in solving problems. 166 Student looks at microscope.

Marlan Cade Division Chairman New Equipment Updates Department PHYSICAL SCIE CE D MATH The department of Physical Science and Math stressed the principal involved in teaching the individual as opposed to teaching the classroom as a whole. Audio-visual aids were used to achieve this. With the packet materials the students were allowed to progress at their own rate of learning. This was par- ticularly helpful to the slow learners and handicapped students and did not hold back the fast learners. This method gave the individual the assurance of reaching their full potential. A complete set of tapes in trigonometry and algebra were bought. Also , a new analytical balance instrument was pur- chased for the chemistry department and two additional laser beams were added in the physics department. The addition of this new equipment made the chemistry and physics labs equiv- alent to any freshman and sophomore college labs. Three scholarships were given by this department this year. l an 1 A ' ' UIQ, nv v l.g T flcga, ' lag .. , M .tl '-'Ulla . 1. ., in at neg Qu.. is I I n 'f Ala . M h Ullng, ie Q lQiQilg.i:':,' 1 ..
