Science Courses Challenged Students Students felt the desire to take notes as they learned the basics of science in Mr. Dzubay's modern science classes. . Jizz.. his : ' ----.,g ' ' 7, '-if . 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.

Commercial Courses Business Education has become a vital and integral part of the school's educational program, sharing with other areas of education responsibilities for developing know- ledge, attitudes, and skills essential to effective living. The objectives of the Business Education department were as follows: to provide proficiency in marketable skills and knowledge which will prepare young men and women to meet job standards for initial employment in one of the business fields, to provide students with the necessary basic understandings of business to develop personal consumer competency and to relate the role of the con- sumer to the total economy, and to provide for develop- ment of business skills for personal use. Recent changes instituted at Wausau Senior High designed to contribute to these objectives included: setting up of a distributive education program, which included coopera- tive education Con-the-job trainingj to develop the occu- pational skills to market, merchandise, and manage the flow of goods and services, establishment of an office ma- chines laboratory to develop occupational skills for em- ployment as clerical and secretarial workers in business offices and instigation of a Consumer Economics course to develop consumer competency through an understand- ing of economic concepts as applied to use in a personal business. The Business Education department was geared to accept the challenge of training young people to take a position in the field of marketing or distribution, in the business office, or to be better consumers of business products.
