Met Through C0 ordzncztzon O Studzes Today's rapid expansion of scientific knowl- edge presented science teachers with unusual problems. New discoveries soon made old theo- ries and even latest textbooks obsolete. To keep pace with these rapid developments the science department at Emmaus High co-ordinated in- struction, experimentation, and demonstration. Students were introduced to the basic concepts of science in the junior high. Later they could select a science course which best suited their abilities, interests, and needs. The frosh elected either biology or physical science. These subjects afforded students the opportunity to delve into two fascinating worlds-the domain of living organisms and the earth itself. Students who desired more advanced studies elected chemistry and physics and performed a variety of experi- ments designed to supplement textbook theory through practical laboratory experience. Three junior high science teachers also served in advisery and coaching positions. Mr. Rieder advised the junior student councilg Mr. Hawk devoted his efforts to advising the Key Club. In addition to serving as football scout, Mr. Roth coached seventh and eighth grade football and basketball.
