Mr. Fries is outlining to parents of his chemistry students just what work his course entails. Students progress faster when parents take a helpful interest in their work. Today's world finds nations competing with each other in the race for supremecy in the world of space. This gigantic struggle requires better trained scientists, and our school must meet the demand for qualified young students prepared to en- ter the field of advanced science. One of the projects to stimulate scien- titic interest is the Berks County Science Fair held annually at the Albright Col- lege Field House. Governor Miffiin was represented by several students in this year's competition, and we are proud of the first place award won by Zoe Brown, a senior. to 6446494 Advanced Biology affords able students to expand their knowledge in this important field. Students ap- pear to enioy Mr. Burger's lecture in this class. ..-E -

' Zark? af0mf4 ' The Science Department alters to students who are interested in particular branches ot science the opportunity to explore these fields: Biology, Ad- vanced Biology, Physics, Chemistry, World Geog- raphy, and Senior Science. Biology and Advanced Biology provide the study of plants and animals, human anatomy, and physiology. Physics, altered in the junior year, requires a strong mathematical background. Laboratory work provides an outlet tor the practical application of physical sciences. Chemistry, a senior subiect, prepares college bound students with a solid background in the chemical tield. The elements, laws, problems, and processes are studied. World Geography undertakes to enable the student to understand the weather, climate, and map reading. Senior Science, a general course, condenses Physics and Chemistry. Judith Pounder gives a report to her Senior Science class. Individual RICHARD F'WERKHElsER i . B' l h lth . . . Asst.
