J Y, T f 7, The entire science department was geared to accommo- date every student with an interest in science. The bi- ology department offered biology and life science to students who hadn't fulfilled these obligations in junior high school. These subjects taught the intricate workings of nature and how the many living organisms live and survive. Chemistry was offered to accelerated sophomores and to many juniors and seniors as a college preparatory course. Here they learned by experience the results of chemical investigations and reactions. Physics, taught by Mr. Harkness, was concerned with teaching advanced ideas in such subjects as forces, mo- tion, and power. A new program was also originated with the entire group of physics students attending a mass presentation in the auditorium once every week, also taught by Mr. Harkness. For the accelerated seniors with desires to take a final course in science, an integrated science class was offer- ed. Consisting of an advanced combination of biology, chemistry, and physics, it was designed to give these few students an extra course in preparation for a career in science.
