science In this century, the greatest advancements Man has made have been in science. He has gone forward from the age of automation to the atomic age. Man can only guess at what discoveries lie in the unknown ahead. The Science Department points out the direction toward an understanding of the abstruse. Courses in General Science, Biology, Physics, and Chemistry offer students fundamental knowledge of the functions and structure of the complex substances within the world and surrounding it. Such science courses enable students to link the processes of life, the phenomena of inanimate matter, and the composition and transformations of matter. For example, students studying Biology learn of the functions of many forms of plant and animal life. Moreover, students of Physics learn of the principles of light, heat, sound, and elec- tricity. In Chemistry, a student studies the proper- ties, functions, and uses of the elements composing the earth. Thus, these students who have gained a basic understanding of the scientific progress made thus far will be better able to comprehend the discoveries which will be made in the future.

Hands off Laurie Taylor, my na is Boris. mathematics The Mathematics Department of Andrew Warde presents to its students instruction in the general, specific, and technically intricate facets of this subiect. Through the courses in General Mathematics, students may review the basic prin- ciples of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, learn advanced applications of these principles and apply them in practical situations. Furthermore, a student who has chosen a career in nursing may obtain instruction in the specific appli- cations of mathematics to this career. Moreover, students who wish to probe the more complex forms of mathematics begin this exploration by studying algebra, the treating of the relationships between numbers by symbols. They may continue this exploration by studying plane geometry, solid geometry, and trigonometry. ln addition, those students who have exceptional mathematical ability may participate in the Advanced Placement Program, in which they study calculus and analytic geometry, subiects of higher mathematics usually learned at college. The students of Andrew Warde enter high school with a knowledge of basic principles, the roots of mathematics. The Mathematics Department cultivates these roots by the many courses it offers. These cultivated roots form the trunk of mathematical knowledge. From this trunk spring the many branches of applied mathematics which graduates of Andrew Warde are prepared to climb.
