Potential Scientists Studying Their Fields Dissecting wornis, nralaing liydrogen, learning to solve lorniulas, and going to the Indiana Sand Dunes were all part, ol the Science classes this year at Arlington. Students were taught about light. forces. reactions, and lilie. For each year that passes, this already enormous field broadens. Therefore, many niore things have to be covered in the sundry cours- es that are olfered. Altogether, there are only seven courses which are open to Arlington students. Biology, which is usually taken by all lreshnien, is one course which is required for graduation. Students learn about the family of plants, and the laniily ol' animals, and about the hunian body. The other required one is Physical Science, which is taken by second year stu- dents. Physical Science is the combination of one semester ol' chentistry and another ol' physics. These are taught in this way to give to the student a basic concept of both subjects. The only other s c i e n c e course which is open to the sophoinores is Earth Science. This course is taught only for one seniese ter. Chemistry is open to all the upperclassnien. This course increases the student's knowledge of chemi- cals and their reactions. Physics, Zoology, and Bot- any, the three remaining courses, are for seniors only. In this past year the honors physics classes delved more deeply into the study of electronics than in previous years. Students receive a close look at the science world and the fields related to science. As a senior zoology student Randy Nlcliay tlissects a fetal pig. his fellow classmates .Indy Bieber and Del lirandau look on, juniors Dick Press and Pat Reiner use various means to measure the amounts needed for a chemical experiment. c . . J H lz 4 .Ks a part of his biology course, freslnnan Paul Croarkin uses his nntroseope to examine a slide under high power. 29

Senior niatli students Mike Grant and Carol Gordon work together to find the answer to one of the math probletns. 30 Mathematics has become one iniportant lield in the world today. For this reason, inany students in- clude one phase ol: niatheniatics on their schedule ol' classes. Freshmen are able to take Algebra I or Math I. By one's sophomore year, Geometry is offer- ed. Upperclassnien take Advanced Algebra, Trigono- nietry, and Advanced Math I and II. Mr. James Ulrich was head of the Mathematics Department. He was also elected to serve as the president ol' the Illinois Council of Blatheniatics. Mr. Ulrich has written two books. One deals with high school geometry. IgA'.Y6'lll1-Ill .llflllzcflizafics has its sec- ond edition off the presses now. Several new inathematics teachers have conie to be a part ol the laculty at Arlington. Many of last years teachers have stayed again this year. These laculty nienibers strived to give students a basic understanding ol: niatheniatic principles and how to apply them. The mathematics courses were taken by our students with the college preparatory program.
