Those in the history department tried to empha- size these problems and prepare the student to face them. The student re- ceived this training through graduated courses in American History, World Cultures, Problems of Democracy and Economics. Armed with the knowledge obtained in these courses, Riverside students were pre- pared to face their future.

SCIENCE Don't be afraid, Ginny. Mr. Frederick demonstrates the proper method of disecting a frog. This is a World of advanced scientific skills and before one can advance in science he must have a basic knowledge of this field. Riverside attempted to prepare its students by offering a rounded pro- gram of science. General science provided the funda- mentals needed for the study of biology, chemistry and physics which were offered in sophomore, junior and senior years. When one successfully completed his courses here, he was prepared to futher his ed- ucation in the competive World of sciences. William Boyer B.S. Indiana State College Science Robert Frederick B.S.
