Science-the open door With the important part science plays in our every day life it is entirely fitting to have the outstandingjScience Department that we have. Our future scientists will find general science, biology, chemistry, and physics to guide them in their future careers. All of us at one time or another have had cause to see and remember Mr. Mann at work, whether behind his little cards or around the lab. Tenth grade students find Mr. Burrows' smiling face and ready wit a welcome addition to the study of plants and animals. But if you should miss your pet housefly or ant, you may find it in some biology student's insect collection. Ninth graders get their introduction to science in Mr. Padgett's general science classes. All in all we are very proud of our science department and think that the young scientists of Winter Haven High School will add much to the World of Tomorrow.
