Science Program Satisfies Student Interests Science is a field which probes into every phase of nature. It is a study which demands intellectual curiosity and an understanding of basic principles on the part of the student. The science department at East has tried to encourage scientific interest and study by offering courses which delve into several fields. The usual sequence includes biology, physics and chemistry, but courses in radio, geology, aeronautics and astronomy are also offered. In biology classes students study the world of nature. During the first semester the students are limited to the world of plants and simple organisms, and in the sec- ond semester they deal with the higher forms of animal life and go into an extensive study of the human body. Physics is a science which deals with physical properties of matter and forms of energy. Laboratory work and classroom dem- onstrations are used to help the student un- derstand the principles of machines, heat, light and sound. At the beginning of the second semester a double-period physics 3 class was introduced for students who wished to probe more deeply into physical principles and to experiment more extensively in the laboratory. Chemistry treats the basic subject of the composition of matter and non-physical changes in matter. Much of the students' un- derstanding in this area comes from labora- tory work and individual experimentation. This laboratory work not only gives the stu- dent the satisfaction of doing something him- self, but also helps him to apply his knowl- edge in a practical situation. Astronomy, aeronautics, geology and radio were offered to supplement the regular sci- ence program for students interested in these more specialized fields.

Language Courses Fulfill Requirements for College East high offers many courses to satisfy college entrance requirements, but the lan- guage department especially seems to have been established for the college-bound stu- dent. Most students elect at least two years of a language because of the strong emphasis on foreign languages by colleges. An important result of the study of a lan- guage is an understanding of the customs of other people as well as a knowledge of the lan- guage itself. This is accomplished through actual participation in foreign customs- singing folk songs, eating foreign food and observing national holidays and festivals. For example this year Mr. Benton Spen- cer's Latin 4 class held a special observance of the Ides of March, the day of Julius Caesar's assassination. l gaoh mf 9 l
