«Science Standard (J3c carer A • Physics Physics has been defined as the basic science of science. It involves an overwhelming conglomeration of laws and formulae whose purpose is to clarify, but whose result is to mystify. But even for those who arc not budding doctors, engineers, and such, there is still something to be gotten from the study of physics, since its men of science include interesting fellows like Archimedes who jumped in and out of tubs yelling Eureka.” Also, any member of the class will tell you that this year is a little different, for Mr. Wardrop is giving the students a chance to do the lecturing, at least at first. After they’re finished, he explains the explanation. But for those who take it and understand it, physics provides a necessary background for advanced science study. • Chemistry We learn by experience” is most applicable in the laboratory amid test tubes, scales, and Florence flasks. However, practice makes perfect,” so by the second semester our polished lab technique is a far cry from our floundering, clumsy attempts of September. Before we do each experiment, we have to become acquainted with it through classroom discussion and data sheets. Through our lectures we become old friends of the atom, valence, and colloid and master chemical math, the banc of most of us. Everything in our course links together in a complete pattern of chemistry fundamentals. • Solarium Goldfish gleaming in tropical water, barbaric cactus and bouncing rubber plants—all make up our solarium jungle. Here, students study plant life and living micro-organisms. • • Biology Lenses in a microscope enlarge the subject just as science enlarges our knowledge of human welfare. Here in Biology class, we may find the students sometimes chasing a paramecium or some other equally elusive micro-organism. At other times, we may find them making a study of higher forms of animal life, all of which gives them a thorough background for actual living and for better understanding of themselves and others. Then personality problems provide many discussions. Science like time is never ending, so in the scientific world of today' each one of these embryonic hunters will pick up the search anew for the truth. • Mathematics There is no science more practical and more vital than mathematics. It saves so much time and embarrassment if the grocery bill can be added without the benefit of fingers and toes, for it is in those ordinary, everyday situations that most of us will be thankful for our mathematical training. No day passes during which the most humble has no need of the science of numbers. But for those considering any of the higher professions, any scientific career, the more math the better. Excellent training for life, mathematics teaches you to extricate yourself from the intricacies of any problem. E. Loncrj-an explores mysteries of a smaller world with help of microscope. 25
