The Patrick Henry Science De- partment has many plans for ex- pansion which are to be executed in the near future. A nursing chemistry course is now being proposed to afford those students interested in a nursing career an opportunity for specialization. The curriculum for ci second year chem- istry course is also being prepared for those pupils wishing advanced high school chemistry. Several summer science insti- tutes in the Roanoke area are available to Patrick Henry rising juniors and seniors. Under the di- rection of the National Science Foundation, these programs are de- signed to provide advanced work for those particularly interested in the specialized fields of modern science. Two programs at William Fleming High School in atomic physics ond nuclear engineering and electronics are offered. These courses provide lectures, field trips, and experimentation for the forty promising students selected from applicants in all fifty states.
