It's also making available a valuable addition to the education of those whose interests lie in other fields. Biology, chemistry, and physics are representative of the courses offered. In biology one becomes acquainted with the how and the why of plant and animal life. Chemistry deals with matter: its composition and transformations. Physics is con- cerned with matter, energy, and physical changes in matter. Many of the elements of our surroundings, such as heat, light, and physical forces, are studied in detail. These three courses form the nucleus of the scientific program at AHS. Miss Burchinal explains to two biology students the process of one of man's most overused abilities-the ability to speak.

5 T Since mathematics is the basis for many of the sciences, a country highly advanced in mathematics is accordingly scientifically advanced. With these and other facts in mind, the mathematics program at AHS has been broadened considerably. Now, in addition to algebra, business math, geometry, and trigonometry, Annapolis High offers analytic geome- try, college algebra, and calculus. These new courses afford advantages such as higher scores in College Board achievement tests, scholarship, and other exams, less difficulty with freshman mathematics in college, possible advanced placement in college, and a broader mathematical background for college science courses. Everyone must take some mathematics courses. Like a good library, Annapolis High's program has something to suit the needs of everybody.
