Two new and chal- lenging courses have been introduced for the accel- erated classes - the M.I.T. course in physics, and a modern concept course in chemistry. However, there are also general classes for the non-college student, and physiological chemistry is available. In keeping with this year's general expansion pro- gram at Deering, two new biology and two new physics labs have been constructed. The chemistry space has been tripled to accommodate classes of 48, and budding Gay-Lussacs may now tinker with the latest equipment. Give any Deering math student the problem N-92.6x2l.4 980 and he will instantly re- 295 ply that the answer must be 3612. In an age when progress is the key to the future, math is especially important. General basic courses as well as solid, challenging courses are offered to Deering students. An average college course curriculum includes alge- bra in the freshman and junior years, plane geom- etry in the sophomore year, and Math D in the sen- ior year. The groups are divided, as are all college course groups, into levels of ability, with a special accelerated group at the top. A calculus course is also available for a limited number of advanced sen- iors, but must be taken in conjunction with the Math D unit. MATH DEPT: Head - Miss O'Brien, PhD Browng Miss Farnham, BA.

Hasta la vista! Arma virumque cano- In the belief that the future of a strong nation does not lie entirely in the realm of science, Deering has, through the years, developed and maintained an out- standing language program. French, Spanish and Latin are offered to round Ollt the students' language back- ground. Though only two units of a foreign language are required lor college entrance, many students perfer to continue their studies. Because a student at Deering may study only Latin in the lreslnnan year, the lan- guage prograin is of a three-year duration. In the field .

af' The Great White Father speaks. T e Background News As in years past, the History Department offers a course to suit the interests of almost every student. Now under the direction of Miss Ring, the department requires all college course freshmen to take the ancient history program, and all upperclassmen to study United States history and the Constitution of Blaine for one year. Nlodern liuropean History is a senior elective, and United States Government is given for students in the general course. The only probable change in the department is a proposed UVO-yeftl' course in the history of our country. ' Because ol crowded conditions, the library has been used both as a homeroom and a classroom, During class periods Mrs. Doane, with the help ol' student librarians, has operated from her new ol'- lice. .Xlthough the year has been hectic, many improvements have been made. The room has been extended, and next year it will be made even larger. The library's budget increase allowed the School to buy two new encyclopedias, several relerenre books, and more general reading items. The library also received many new science books through the National Defense liducation Act. Fifty books every two months filtered through the library because ol the school's participation in the traveling science library program. sift One of llc!-ring's ambitious students checks out a book. vi' 'fd 'A'5I1- . f n. qd, ,R . .Aa ...,, I, 'U ff- f -.,- . .gp HISTORY DEPT: Head 4 Miss Ring.
