Striving Toward Better Knowledge Of Man The King High science department offers a variety of courses to students who are interested in this field. All of these subjects are provided to give each student the background he or she needs to start science as a career. Some of these subjects include. Biology. Che- mistry 1 and II. Physics. Anatomy and Physiology. There are also a number of advanced classes for those students who have skills in science which are above average. Mrs. Dyer, the department head, hopes to expand the department by purchasing new microscopes, up- dating the computer, and acquiring a new autoclave. Unfortunately, the science department has lost two teachers this year. Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Freeney. However. King, and the science department have made an interesting addition in Mr. Ymiolek. who teaches physics and chemistry. Because science is an ever-changing subject, the King High science department will always be expand- ing and adding new subjects to keep abreast of advancing technology. Science 61

Classes Aimed At Increasing Specialized Skills And Interests Mrs. Duggan can check blood measurements with this two-way stethoscope. WVITIlfe m Two other specialized departments at King are Home Economics and Health. Within the health division, health occupations is taught from several angles. One way is through teaching the various methods of medical care. Even more interesting, however, is when students, as mem- bers of HOSA, take jobs participating as trainees and aids to people holding health related occupations in the community and in hospitals. When one thinks of home economics, immediately two very general ideas come to mind: cooking and sewing. Because this is actually a much deeper field. King’s program is also much more detailed. They teach courses in basic foods and nutrition; and in caring for groups of children as well as individually. The classes in sewing consist of everything from learning about fabrics and planning outfits, to basic sewing techniques. Advanced students learn fashion designing in clothing production classes, and a touch of interior design in textiles. Home Economics 63
