SCIENCE Our science department is completing a significant change in its curriculum. In 1962 Chem Study was introduced, in 1963 PSSC Physics, and this year BSCS Biology was introduced. What all this means is that the emphasis is moving away from memorized facts and toward experimentation and discovery. AHS science courses are no longer a large body of memorized data, but now use practical application of facts as their basis. The student no longer feels that he is being taught — he feels that he is learning. Air. Harry O. Keller, who teaches biology and P.S., studied at Shepherd College and G.W.U. He is in charge of the audio-visual de¬ partment and enjoys checking under class- men for hall passes. Mrs. Alice Jean Wood, who holds a B.S. and an M.S. from Saint Bonaventure University, is a teacher of Chem Study at AHS. Col. Boleyn works on the complex problem of creating dustless chalk. 26 FACULTY
