David Klinke, Roger Johnson, Arthur Lake, Cecil Meyers. Knowledge Through Study and Practice Books must follow science, and not science books. To solve the mysteries of environment and the physical world, students turn to books of science. Science classes that are offered are biology, phys- ical science, chemistry, and physics. Biology courses survey the various factors of the environment that affect living things, the effects of living things on the environment, the problems of health of the internal structures, the anat- omy of living things, including man, and the problems of inheritance. Physical science studies some theory and practical applications of chemistry, geology, physics, and astronomy. It offers knowledges of the world around us in order that everyone understand the social environment. Chemistry class consists of laboratory experiments and class discussion to help students gain new skills in the relation- ship between chemistry and everyday life. Physics is the study of physical laws and problems of machines, fluids, heat, sound, light, and electricity. Students apply the use of formulas and equations to the working of problems. Engaged in the study of centrifugal force are seniors Larry Brown, Marty Haviland, and Roger Ward. Jean 'SalathieI and Bill Davis take notes on the findings of the microscope in biology cass.
