I ■ C U R R I C U L U M SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS Gorden Turnbull and Dave Lewis are here seen investigating the extension of a spring. The experiment is one of the many in the new Physics P.S.S.C. course which was introduced this year. In addition to Physics, the science program consists of a year of chemistry and two years of general science. Closely allied to science is the mathematics program, which takes in four years of algebra and geometry. A new math program, pre- sently in force up to the grade ten level, is also being introduced. This modern program of mathematics involves new techniques and a more meaningful application of present principles. ENGLISH English, language and literature, is undoubtedly the most important sub- ject in the school day. And with the current English curriculum revision al- ready at the tenth grade level, it is becoming one of the most vital and re- freshing. The basic aim of the English courses is to devel- op the ability of the stu- dent to understand and use English. Intelligent read- ing is of the essence in all grades; usage and creative writing are stressed in grades eight, nine and ten; critical analysis is the em- phasis in the final years of school. English 91, fa- mous for its extent and completeness, is required for the English major, and it provides ample oppor- tunity for practicing skills acquired. MR C. MURPHY A graduate of V.C., Mr. Murphy teaches socials and science and is presently work- ing on a degree in Physical Education. Noted mainly as head coach of thefootball team, he also coaches track and basketball. MR R DeJULIUS, B A A Vancouverite, Mr. DeJulius coaches the J.V. football and basketball teams.
