Biology, studied by sophomores and .seniors is made interesting in “Modern Biology.” The science of weights, work, and energy is taught to seniors in all but the commercial course through “Everyday Physics.” Meteorology is offered for credit to general course juniors and anyone interested may take a special “S” Period class.
