In chemistry, the young student, an apron tied around his waist, sets his mind on the test tube and-another secret of nature is disclosed and perhaps another genius is inspired. Those who enter the physics class discover, among other items, that everything is made of protons, electrons, and neutrons --which form atoms which form molecules which form-well al- most anything! In short, the science program here-encompassing courses in general science, biology, chemistry, physics, and physical geo- graphy-offers the student adequate opportunity to prepare for the continuation of study in the field of his choice. Members of the physics class prove the power of the electrostatic generator. Q x'.x.4', Xf ft, f '- M

The science courses at New Bern are designed to make life for each student a richer, deeper experience through an under- standing of the simple basic laws which apply to a living orga- nism and to the physical environment of these organisms. Life can be full only when the individual realizes that each living creature-even the ones beyond the realm of natural vision-is an integral part of the universal plan. Furthermore, through science the student learns that truth is mandatory, that only through faithful recording can man's knowledge be increased. In the biology course learning experiences range from ac- quaintance with the lowest form of life to that of human beings. Emphasis is placed on the influence that new scientific discoveries may have on human life! A pinch of this, a pinch of that, add water, attach a tube, and a formula is born-or an explosion in the chemistry lab! . . . 3 Clelllfe llleI'lCal'l e

Why this poor fellow didn't have to advertise for a secretaryg all he had to do was call the commercial department of New Bern High School. Sixty words per minute for five min- utes is the minimum requirement of the short- hand course. Then, of course, those words must be transcribed in mailable form. In the typewriting class the students de- velop practical ability in the use of the type- writer. They learn machine adjustments so that they are able to type letters, address en- velopes, center tabulations, fill in business and legal forms correctly and rapidly. The bookkeeping classes are taught the principles of debit and credit, and how to record the daily business transaction of a sole proprietorship or a partnership. ':.
