SCIENCE The study of science is necessary in order to prepare us for the changes which daily discoveries bring about. These dis- coveries which are being made help to make our lives easier and more enjoyable. The field of science is much too exten- Sive to be properly studied under a general topic. This is one of the main reasons why five distinct science courses are offered at Wadesboro High School. These courses are physical science, biology, chemistry, physics and home economics. Physical science teaches students the basic background to all sciences, In home economics girls learn what sciences can be used in the home and how to make the best use of them. The basic principles of cook- ing and sewing are taught to benefit the future homemaker. The structure of the body is taught in biology. In this class students learn how to take the best care of themselves. 20
