ISXACTIVITIES New Innovations Promote Science In a world filled with technology, science is of the utmost importance. Since two years of science are required for graduation, most students enroll in general physical sci- ence as freshmen then take biology as sophomores. By omitting CPS, it is possible for freshmen to take biology and continue with chemistry. This offers upperclassmen the opportunity to further their study by taking Chemistry Ill-IV, physics, or Biology Ill-IV. Accurate equipment, skilled instructors, and precise information stimulate inter- est in science. Top Right: EASY DOES IT. Kathy Cornel- ius takes a blood test with Lydia Hester in advanced biology.
