SCIENC The increased interest in science in recent years has af- fected the Science Department with the addition of new classes, new teachers, and more exacting requirements. The science student is offered botany, biology, chemistry, and physics. As well as performing assigned experiments and making ob- servations in class, the student is encouraged, by competition in the Science Fair, to explore the field which interests him. Many students, after entering college, realize the value of the background they have received in this department and learn to appreciate its methods.
