Roosevelt is fortunate in having a fine science department with capable teachers. Many students before entering high school feel they are not interested in science, however, after entering Roosevelt and becoming acquainted with the different choices of science their previous attitudes are changed. The courses offered are: Biology, the study of plant and animal life: Physiology, function of the human body: Physics, the law of nature: Chemistry, the science of materials and their compositions. Students plannins to enter college need science in their academic course. It is also of extreme importance for students who wish to enter fields of medicine, engineering, etc. Modern Problems can be interesting as well as educational. Felber, Smallcn, Gowans.

With Roosevelt’s splendid teachers this can easily become a pleasure rather than a chore. Our social studies department has been especially active in many of our school functions this past year. History taken in Sophomore and Junior years are world history and American history, respectively. Modern Problems replaces the history courses in the Senior year. This deals largely with the functions of the government, civic and everyday problems such as low income group, buying and selling, and crime prevention. Common Learnings may be taken if desired during the Sophomore year. [12]
