ce Ke WG Ase ty ko WY? LATIN WILL NEVER DIE! Capt. LaPlaca is never more thrilled than when the word “Latin’’ is mentioned! Don Barrante helps complete an intricate replica of a wealthy Roman’s home c.40 B.C. Latest science and language equipment intrigues cadets. Not only was the equipment new at Augusta in ’63- 64, but the courses were also new. Introduced in biology were two versions of the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study. Those cadets who were taking the Blue version discovered the molecular approach to biology and those in the Green version were in- volved in the ecological approach. Chemistry students discovered the candle! That could mean only one thing—the Chemical Education Materials Study had been introduced at Augusta. PSSC Physics, general science, and ea rth science gave AMA’s science department a completely updated ap- pearance; it’s WOW in every way. Mathematics courses, updated in 1963, continued on with the SMSG program, and in English a world literature course was added to strengthen the cur- riculum. More will come in ’65. In the process of change was the Social Studies Department, which marked time with the introduc- tion of World History as the sole new course, but with indications portending a new direction for the fall of °64. The finest change was the extension of class periods from 45 to 55 minutes. AMA is on the move! Expansion can’t be stopped! TESTING FOR SURE ... Col. Gardner, superintendent of AMA, keeps a constant check on students and equipment. Proud of the $10,000 language laboratory, Col. Gardner found every cadet in languages anxious to use the lab full time.

Centrifuges, balances, analytical scales, automatic film strip projectors and all new equipment, but the work in chemistry remained unchanged in ways: it’s still the sci- entific method but with more challenge offered the student. Randy Hoilman, Bob DeRemer, Joe Ravenel, Larry Demar- est, Mark Maines, John Staley, Bob Myers, George Leonards, Dave York, and Dribbles Baker found that an “A” wasn’t as elusive as they had felt that CHEM Study would make it. Ted Schroeder checks the electrically illuminated micro- scopes which the biology classes proudly added to basic equip- ment. With a blue and green section in biology, colors meant a lot everywhere!
