In Class Or Lab In chemistry, biology, or physics, most of us learn the hard way that scientists must he logical, exacting, and pa- tient. We study the atom and wonder how anything so small can be responsible for all chemical phenomena. We trace the development of the human being from simple pro- teins, and our egos are deflated to find out how much we have in common with a plant. The language of science gradually becomes familiar, and we soon chatter about ergs, moles, and l)NA. We remember how smug we were when an experiment worked out the way it was supposed to. and how thrilled we were to find that the inside of a frog looked just like the picture. Most important, we learn that the simplest and most basic things about ourselves and about the universe are not so simple at all. and we develop a new respect for the scien- tists who discovered oxygen and hydrogen and for those who will send a man to the moon.

Sieve Rosenblatt and Fred Flax get additional help on a tricky problem from Mr. Cuidara. Theories, Trapezoids, Or Trigonometry Difficult homework problems arc put on the board to be explained by Mrs. Washington. Mathematics is our second language. It is the one used in science, industry, business, and even in the home. Math courses at B-CC help prepare students for all these fields. We soon learn that chemistry and physics arc dependent upon mathematics. There is a Business Math course to give students the background to go into the business world. Consumer Math helps future housewives understand the problems they will meet in running a home. For the math enthusiasts B-CC offers trigonometry and calculus, the fifth year course included in the SMSG program. 22
