SCIENCE STIMULATES THINKING Modern youth is found with a difficult, challeng- ing, and changing transition in a scientific society. New challenges are coming from a new sense of curiosity, adjustment, and security in their society. The time students spend in high school is an important time element in their transition from the security of the home to the place they are to occupy in the pres- ent scientific age. The courses offered are biology, chemistry, and physics. During the span of these courses, it is hoped that the student will relate these learnings with the opportunities offered in and by the present and future scientific advancements. The opportunities are endless, and the chief purpose of our science courses is stimulation of interest to seek them out. Science opens new fields toward discovery. MRS. RUTH FULLER Biology, Physics, and Chemistry MR. CARL STEWARD Biology 29

MATH IS A CHALLENGE Challenges of the Atomic Age have stimulated students' interest in an important area of Searcy High's curriculum. Mathematics. Mathematics is a highly stimulating subject and one has a great feeling when he successfully seeks out the solution to a difficult problem. More students than ever before are availing them- selves of new knowledge of mathematics by taking such courses as Algebra I, Algebra II, Business Math, Plane Geometry, Solid Geometry, Trigonometry, and general mathematics. The staff of this department is capable, conscien- tious, and dedicated. The goal is to maintain the students' high interest in their subject and to create an understanding in the field of mathematics. Math students exhibit new skills on the blackboard. MRS. ELOISE SCROGGINS Math COACH JAMES STAGGS Algebra and Gen. Math 28
