SCIENCE explored by students in Science classes. Nuclear physics and its i m p o r t a n c e in the modern world, was studied in both chemistry and physics. The last few we e k s of biology were concerned with radioactive materials and their use in disease and explorations of plants and animal functions. There were many projects in the different classes. These were completed in spare time to widen the students' knowledge. Mr. Darrell Evans - B.A., Texas Western College; M.A., Texas Western College; biology and general science, Sponsor Chess Club.
