.4. 'rw Science is one of the most rewarding fields in which a student may study. Never before has there been such a need for well trained scientists in almost every field, hence there is an excellent opportunity for the student who is interested. If he has the interest and the ability, there is no limit as to ,what he can do. Biology is required of all students for graduation and is offered to every sophomore. Chemistry and physics are also offered in order to encourage the stu- dent to take advanced work and to prepare him for college. Students are encouraged to work on their own. Helping to increase the interest in the science de- partment are the Science Club and the annual Science Fair. Keeping up with the world in which we live is furthered by the knowledge gained through the science courses. MRS.
