The shades are about to be drawn as Mr. Victor Unruh threads a film for his general science class. Modern math complemented BSCS New books and equipment provided a more active program for the students in the math and science departments. Freshman math and science courses taught students material of practical appli- cation and also prepared them for beginning algebra and biology. Field days to a pond and a nearby vacant lot and increased laboratory work with living organisms were given greater stress in the biology classes with the adoption of Biological Science Curriculum Studies. The biology department increased its staff by adding Mr. Rapp to the faculty. New demonstration equipment facilitated the chem- istry classes’ primary teaching technique, direct experimentation. Throughout the year the faculty coordinated efforts to provide for students a smooth continuity of programmed learning. Mr. Titus Burkholder Math 9 Mr. K. E.
