Along with general sci¬ ence, earth and space science, chemistry, and biology, courses such as cat anatomy, animal physiology, genetics, bacteriology and physics are offered as electives. Most electives are given as one semester courses. Each course is designed to help students learn advanced biological tech¬ niques. Among the facilities included in the department are a planetarium, biology labs, chemistry labs, a radio shack, and a physics lab. Plans are already being made for another science course. The course will be called Nuclear Science and will deal with the familiarization and application of ra¬ dio-active isotopes. Mr. Robert Rupp, recently graduated from Blooms- burg State Teachers College, is a new addition to our sci¬ ence department.

English Department Experiments With Flexible Program The English Department is kept busier than ever this year. Each teacher is exposed to countless meetings de¬ signed to suggest new direction and a changing curricu¬ lum. Many more hours will be devoted to rewriting the existing course of study and reviewing possible additions to an elective program for the 1972-1973 school year. One goal of this effort is a more flexible schedule for both students and teachers. Although the future is being considered, the present syllabus must be met. And the teachers of Freshman English do an outstanding job: they not only teach the required material, but also introduce the student to study habits necessary for high school work. The Tenth grade curriculum places emphasis on vocab¬ ulary study, grammar, and World Literature. The sopho¬ more is initiated into the world of short stories and poetry, while the Juniors prepare research papers and study American Literature. Seniors are asked to display many latent talents; some they never dreamed they possessed. Writing poetry, a task which at first seems impossible, is made easier after a study of poetic devices: rhyme, rhythm, and re-write. Also, methods for writing term papers and compositions are polished. One goal of Senior E nglish is to perfect the skills that students have accumulated over the years.
