SCIENCE Q - Tee term Science includes such classes as Biology, 8th grace General Science, Aeronautics and Physics.

' In our Biology class this year we started out with 45 students, probably one of the largest Freshmen classes in the nistory of the school. Q We had planned on using -our ways on class'worx and one say on lab work, but Que tc ' size of the class and the amount of lab supplier it was impossible to conduct lab work.

Along with learning all the Plant Phglam which inclu I8 every type of plant and flower around here we also leer ed the ten different Phylum and subclasses. Since Biology is e required course and since everything fftuns us is mace up or lives on Eiological factors it is a good course to study. H ggrcnautics , T448 is not primarily a war course.
