We also learned that in correspondence with the inter- est in computers, our library now subscribes to several unique computing journals. SCIENCE DEPT. There is now a new course being taught in the A.V.C.S. Science department. In addi- tion to their normal science course, some eighth grade students are now taking the Introduction to Biology class being taught by Mr. Hammond.

SOCIAL STUDIES BUSINESS The A.V.C.S. Social Studies Department is certainly patriotic but courses such as Me- dia and World History make for a well- rounded Patriot. This year, a new current events course taught by Mr. Brow is being offered to seventh grade students.
