Basic, Advanced Learning Science has taken Tremendous strides in the last twenty years. Man splits atoms, orbits the earth, and replaces worn out human organs with plastic substitutes. Twenty years ago such things were not even imagined. ln a world changing this quickly, it is es- sential that people have at least a basic scientific knowledge. To furnish this knowledge, Warrenites found a wide assortment of courses of- fered to them by the Science Depart- ment. Courses ranged from the basic physical science to physiology and zoology. Students wishing to gain a basic understanding of all fields of science enrolled in the science course, Biology and chemistry classes offered to the student preparing for a college education, a greater depth of study. Through dissection, experimentation, and visual aids the organs of a cray- fish and the chart number of helium became well-known facts. Even more advanced work was of- fered to those students interested in one of the many careers of the science world. Botany and zoology courses ex- plored the processes and functions of plant and animal life while physiology and physics students found specialized study in the areas of animate or inani- mate obiects.
