Russian Classes Added To Language Curriculum 1 .-..... .ms v '.' 6 'i f+ebo o i ' .5 ti sl gl . l 1 'ntl'-it-'e':'7 ' 'V' ' This year the language department at East added a Russian course to the curriculum. The course, instructed by Miss Mary Jane Cuiteras, was started late in September. Senior students who elected it covered two years of high school Russian in one year, and thus became eligible for advanced place- ment tests upon college entrance. Four other languages are offered at East in varying degrees of advancement to allow all students to progress at their own speeds. Thus the language field not only provides excellent preparation for college, but introduces the student to the study of other cultures.

Courses in Science Give Better Understanding The field of science probes into every phase of nature. It is a study which deals with the world around us, its composition and its behavior. East's science department is encouraging scientific study and interest by offering courses which probe into several fields. The three major courses are biology, physics and chemistry, however, courses in radio, geology, aeronautics, photography and astronomy are also offered. These courses demand the under- standing of basic principles and an intellectual curiosity on the part of the student. In biology classes students study the world of nature and all living things. The first semester is spent in the world of plants and simple organisms, and in the second semester higher forms of animal life, including the human body are studied. Physics is a science which deals with matter, Robert W. Brannberg Physics John W. Brennan Biolngv :Q i Valerie Havlick W' Biology Morris Hoffman Physics ,lack M.

With the aid of East's excellent teachers, physics students study the causes and effects of everyday happenings. Classroom demonstrations and labora- tory work are used to help the student understand the principles of machines, heat, sound and light. Chemistry, or the study of composition of mat- ter, is offered to junior and senior students. In the course of the year students learn the answers to many common questions such as what happens when wood burns, and the reasons for chemical reactions. Much of the students' understanding in this subject comes from lab work and individual experiments. Astronomy, aeronautics, geology and radio are one semester courses offered to students who prefer to supplement the regular science program with these more specialized fields.
