Qcience and Math Progress in all areas of acti vity is being made today as a result of recent developments, in- ventions, and discoveries in the fields of science and math. In general, the entire pop- ulation is effected by the bigger and better machines, the v ell-constructed edifices, and the labor-saving devices which these devel- opments initiate. That is precisely why education in science and math departments has become such a vital part in the college curriculum of today. Our departments must keep pace with these modern advances while preparing the stu- dent to meet degree requirements of a senior college. To fulfill such a purpose, Victoria College offers studies in biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, algebra, analytic geometry, trigonometry, modern math, calculus, ge- ology, and comparative anatomy. The de- partment tries to provide the basic informa- tion sought by a student of science and math.

Fill-in-the-blanks always make my mind go blank! mum- bles lab student Mike Johnson, who prefers those blacken-the-letter tests provided by Miss Etzel. Throughout the year, a physics lab group will undertake many experiments. Dennis Wagner and Joe Rodriguez observe a trial which threatens to bubble over. Making use of mechanical drawing instruments such as a T-square, drawing board, and ruler, Carroll Ferguson double checks work he has completed.
