History Science The curriculum of the Science Depart- ment includes five courses-Biology l and II, Chemistry, Physics, General Science, and Senior Science. One year of biology is required for graduation, however, many students an- ticipating going into nursing, medicine, or research, and others who simply have an interest in the subject, take a second year. Academic students may elect Chemistry in their junior year and Physics in their sen- ior year, or they may reverse the order. As a part of a nation-wide program, the Bausch 8g Lomb Award, a bronze medal, is presented annually to the student in the senior class who has achieved excellence in the field of science. The recipient is then entitled to participate in competition for science scholarships. General Science, a study of the natural science 'Factors of one's environment, and Senior Science, the study of physical science emphasizing the practical aspects of science as they are met in everyday life, are elec- tive courses. By means of special reports, Miss Helmick's students learn about famous persons who have had some effect on World History. In the library Miss Lewis assists a boy in finding material for a report he is to give in class. Members of Miss Means' biology class seem to find the dissection of a fish a really interesting assignment.
