So much of our lives are influenced by Mathematics. Here students learn to reason, think specifically and care- fully. Whether preparing for future schooling, work or settling down after high school, this area of the curric- ulum requires disciplined study from students which will serve them well the rest of their lives.

Science Mr. Richard Lapp - Chemistry Mrs. Helen Dadd, Miss LindavCramer IE CE How are such wonders possible? From the whistling teakettle to the splitting of an atom, Science has the answers. Science teaches stu- dents the Whys, Wherefores, and Laws of the world in which we live. Gen- eral Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics open new worlds to those eager students who are willing to think and work hard. Lab exper- iments, projects, and a science ex- hibit, give the students oppor- tunities to practice what they learn as theory in class discussion.

The Language courses, French and Latin, offered at A. C. S. en- able students to understand the culture of other people. They form a background for other courses of study. In the world of business, the skills of typing, shorthand, the ability to keep books, to sell and to manage ably one's affairs are often the open door to.a new future. 13 il-s .....i., ,r,,.....,...,
