Mr. Dick Patton A. B., Catawba College The study of science is necessary in order to prepare us for the changes which daily dis- coveries bring about. These discoveries which are being made in science make our lives easier and more enjoyable. The field of science is much too extensive to be properly studied under a general topic. This is one ofthe main reasons why five distinct science courses are offered: General Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Advanced Bi- ology. Interest as well as ability determine the student's choice of subject. Regardless of which a student decides to pursue, he can always learn more about the things he has for so long taken for granted. Science is the future, and anyone who understands any portion of this vast field holds a key to success. I3
