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

As part of New York State's citizenship education program, history forms a common background of information for most American citizens. This year, forthe lirst time, the History Department has inaugurated a diversified teaching program. A be- ginning has been made towards the introduction of World History in the tenth grade with the organization of an honors class. Next year it is planned that a large majority of tenth grade students will be taking World History, followed by American History in the eleventh grade. lt is hoped that ultimately college-bound seniors will be able to take electives in such fields as sociology, economics, and geography.
