Physics tStudent Joseph1neZarc0nej SCIENCE With the increasing need for trained scientists and engi- neers in our country comes an ever-increasing need for everyone to understand the basic facts and methods of science. At Amherst we hope to interest able young people to plan careers in science and to provide them with the foundation for following these careers in col- lege. We also hope to prepare all students to live in a world of rapidly changing conditions of life by helping them to understand the methods of the research scien- tist, to find answers for themselves, and to think clearly on the basis of known facts. Strong emphasis is placed on individual laboratory work and the investigation of individual research projects. gr x X M V., X at W l fp ? 53914 '33 1 D 0 'QW ,. l 4:MAK-Zh Ia' Q, 54232, QP- if Chemistry GLENN UNGERER Physics ad ELTON PETERSEN Chemistry SHERIDAN MARTIN Earth Sci vlser of Senior Science Club Senior Class adviser encg Blglogy adviser of Riding Club, Tennis coach PATRICK FESSENDEN

In this highly technical age, mathematics is indispensable. We at Amherst are striving to keep pace with these modern trends by developing an integrated course of the various areas of mathematics at each grade level, and by adopting the most recent state-recommended courses to train students in modern mathematics tech- niques. Also there is an opportunity for seniors of supe- rior ability to participate in a seminar where certain topics of college level are introduced. Our goal is to help equip Amherst students to under- stand the role that mathematics plays in the affairs of today. PAULINE MORRIS: Math ll.
