m Loves living close to the earth 1,429 students participate in the six course science program at Grosse Pointe High School, and are taught by twelve teachers. This year ' s major develop- ment is the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study course ( B S C S ) which is followed by one of the regular classes. Rather than pursuing the usual text- book approach, these students concentrate upon life at the cellular level and gain extensive laboratory experience.
