Science enables us to gain an insight into the vast reservoir ot classified knowledge which man has collected through the passing centuries. An interesting course in biology is offered at Marshall which enables the student to gain a fundamental knowledge of elementary plant and insect life. The subject provides a firm basis for the more advanced scientific studies. Physi- ology not only is an essential course to the pros- pective nurse or medical student, but gives every pupil an opportunity to acquaint himself with the complicated mechanisms of the body. For the student who does not wish to enter the more advanced scientific courses, physical sci- ence proves a valuable and interesting course. The future engineer finds physics an essential subject since it provides instruction in such im- portant matters as mechanics, sound, light, and electricity. The student participates in actual laboratory demonstrations which afford practical application of the principles taken up in class. Strange odors arise from the chemistry labora- tory where the prospective test-tube tinklers are learning for themselves the foundatic-ns of the science that Lavoisier developed. The Chemistry Team which we enter each year in the Southern California Contest has always ranked among the first ten. What a iiqure! .' .ai wwammnmw Q . .

It contains in its concepts the basis and outline of such subjects as physics, chemistry, and geology. A subject such as geometry tends to develop in the individual the ability to think clearly and logically. To the future engineer and draftsman a good basis in mathematics proves invaluable. As a special aid to the boys who intend to enter the armed forces and the shops engaged in defense work, a new course, military and shop mathematics, has been introduced.
