Lab experiments and higher math challenge these students The courses at Union that may be obtained in the fields of mathematics and science are widely varied. They range from general math to trigonometry and from biology to physics. At Union one year of math and one year of science are required for graduation in order to give the student a better concept of his environment. In the more advanced sciences, such as chemistry and physics, math is used to communicate modern theories to the student. Union stu- dents have an opportunity to demonstrate their accomplish- ments in math and science by participating in the annual science fair. Mr. Dalzell enlightens Steve on a physics problem.
