S Men and women, through the ages, have been in- spired by the curiosity to discover and disclose new facts concerning science. A nation must have a steady supply of these people, without them a civilization would crumble and fall. Catalina's science department offers a relatively large choice of science courses. In biology, the student learns about physiology which includes the circulatory, skeletal, and nervous systems. This is probably his first attempt at dissecdng a worm or frog. Physical science is also offered. Chemistry, the matter science, deals primarily with the properties and composition of substances and the transformations that they undergo. Studying the forces released by energy occupies the physics student. College biology is offered to all students who have successfully completed biology, chemistry, and physics. A teacheris recommendation is also required. If the ad- vanced placement examination is satisfactorily com- pleted, the student receives eight hours of college credit. Two laboratory sciences are required for gradua- tion from Catalina. SCIENCE . . . Top Row: Gale Bell-biology, cross country, track . . .

Drivers' Ed., Training Teach Respect for Laws l 'How in the world do you ever get these cars lined up? questions ean Sayre as she attempts the depth perception test. Drivers' education is now a required course for sophomores at Catalina. Approximately 150 students each six Weeks period are instructed in the laws and safety rules of driving. Slides of accidents from the Arizona Highway Department supplement classes. At the end of the course, students take a series of per- ception and reaction tests. Experience in the actual handling of a car is gained in drivers' training classes. This year a 1963 Rambler was purchased by the school and used in addition to the 1956 Chevrolet for classes. Students must have a learner's permit to be eligible for this instruction, and after completing a six Weeks course, are prepared to obtain their drivers' licenses.

Language Fluency Stimulates lntellectual Growth Throughout the country, the new trend is to give more emphasis to conversing in a foreign language. s W Reading and writing are secondary in importance. To further facilitate learning, the language depart- ment has a new language laboratory. Thirty-two sep- arate booths are outfitted with microphones and ear- phones which enable the teacher to hear students re- peat their lessons individually at their own rate of speed. Besides teaching first through fourth year French, Miss Eva Royce heads the foreign language depart- ment comprised of Spanish, German, Latin and French classes. i .
