EBKI Is thai what I look like inside Such is the comment of many a biology student upon being introduced to the science department ' s mannikin. Joan Fenton and Ron Sanders examine human head structures. The science department offers five courses: General science, biology, photography, and chemistry and physics, which are limited to upperclassmen. The biology department is well equipped with edu- cational movies and advocates the use of them. The course gives the Students a chance to Study and experiment with a well-stocked supply of living specimens. The chemistry laboratory is also well equipped for experiments and demonstrations, thus giving the Students a better chance to illustrate what they have learned. One year of science above the ninth year is required for every student in order to graduate and algebra is a prerequisite for chem istry. Anyone planning for college, and especially those entering any field of medicine, engineering or nursing will benefit by the scientific courses. twenty-six
