The Race into Space Emphasizes Working on a physics experiment are Dick Clouse, Dave Berger, Larry Martindale, and Pat Masterson. These students are studying motors during physical science class. Gar Hollar, Marvin Mast, and Cinda Schori are dissecting a worm in biology class. The time for more well-educated and informed scientists has arrived with the importance of rockets, atomic weapons, and new medicines. Three courses of science offered by N.H.S. are biology, physical science, and physics. Biology is the study of plants and animals in their classes, from the simplest forms to the most com- plex. Physical science is offered for the students who wish to further their backgrounds in science. They are given a general knowledge of many sciences. Students of physics study mechanics, heat, light, sound, and electricity, dealing with matter and energy that do not involve change in composi- tion. LEHMAN HARDWARE CO.

Science and Mathematics. Our changing times with the many modern conven- iences prove to us the importance of mathematics. Algebra I, which is usually taken by freshmen, teaches its students the fundamentals and rules in solv- ing problems and equations. It also prepares the stu- dent for algebra II in which the advanced math student can further his knowledge of numbers, graphs, and mathematical rules. Courses in plane and solid geome- try, offered alternately, enable a student to have four years of math. General math is primarily for the students who do not care to study algebra, but who do want to fulfill the requirement of one year of math. These students are taught to solve general problems they will meet after they graduate. The most advanced math class is trigo- nometry, which pertains to the measurement of triangles and the relationship between their sides and their angles. These students are solving problems for their advanced algebra class.
