Mr Robert Compton, Dept head and teacher of Biology and Physiology, discusses the different types of chromosomes. Science Is Popular This department is dedicated to those students who would like to add to their education the basic scientific and experimental knowledge that one uses frequently in ordinary life. Biology studies life, its purposes, ways of survival and all facets of its growth, reproduction and function Physiology teaches the student the complexity of the human body. It explains what each cell, tissue, organ, and system does and its importance to the total operation and care of our bodies. Science serves as a sturdy foundation where the student can branch out into the field he enjoys most Chemistry and Physics teach physical and chemical properties of different organic and inorganic substances. Mathematics is important in these last two subjects because of the complexity of the formulas used. The future for Science is very evident today. The fast rate at which the world is progressing influences scientific technology tremendously. The trips to the moon, cancer research, ecology and pollution control and nuclear energy limitations are just some of the modern areas Science has been broken into. The students today are going to be deeply involved in scientific progress in the future. Above, Mr Leroy Colson.

Social Studies Informs The times we are living in are making history right now. Watergate, Vietnam and the Wounded Knee trials are just some of the outstanding things that the United States has been involved with that will be written in history books in years to come We need to be aware of the different social, economic and foreign problems that are facing us today. To function in society as citizens we must take some pride in our country. The Social Studies department informs the student and stimulates his thinking on different levels of society. To become involved in our government we must understand the people. Social and economic pressures influence good or bad actions. To help something you must understand it and to understand it you must become involved and informed. Whether you take a mini-course or a year-long course, you need to brush up on what makes our country, our nation, our state, your fellow students, and you, tick.
