Urie Richard Vandenberg Left: Students in the department of cosmetology use new hair-dressing techniques on fellow students and local residents who come to the college for such services.

(In this photograph the patron is having her hair rinsed during a permanent wave.) Below. A machine-tool student practices a threading technique on a lathe. In a biology laboratory session, students use interesting specimens provided by the department as an aid to effective research. The life sciences are not only fascinating but useful. One of their main purposes is to enable persons to adjust to their environments by providing a background essential to understanding themselves in relation to the world in which they live. Life science emphasizes the unique importance of all living things and encourages individuals to respect and safeguard our natural treasures. It is important for us to understand the interdependency of all matter and the manner in which these various forms relate to one another. There is an interrelation among all fields of inquiry; not one field can stand independent of another. Life science is invaluable to other areas of learning. Geological age relations of rocks are determined in part by fossil remains of flora and fauna; therefore, an intimate knowledge of biology and zoology is necessary in certain areas of geological study. Man, as studied in An investigation into the science of life helps us to identify ourselves with the vastness of nature.
