Science Presenteday science is changing our lives so rapidly that it is important that everyone has some basic knowledge of it. Items of scientific interest, such as stories of space, travel, of nuclear energy, of DNA and RNA and their re- lation to inheritance are constantly being pre- sented to us by newspaper, magazines, radio, and television. The well -educated person must necessarily have had some scientific background in order to comprehend What he reads. The science de- partment at Badin is attempting to fill this need for all students by offering a variety of science courses. Each student Will have had at least one science course before graduation. Those who are interested in science will be able to enroll in a number of courses that will adequately prepare them for study of science in college. SR. BARBARA ANN, O. S. F. SR. EMILIE, o. s. F. SR.

Mathematics The Math Department of Badin High School offers opportunities to students of all levels of ability to gain a knowledge and skill prepara- tory to any post high school endeavor. Some students desire a minimum amount of math training so that they may concentrate on other areas, however, one year of math is con- sidered the basic minimum for successful living in the consumer world. For those who Wish to prepare for technical training, busi- ness or college, a four-track system has been designed to meet their needs. Most college- bound students who plan to specialize in math or math-related science study math for at least three years and students who show a special aptitude are given the opportunity to accelerate and to study math through Calculus.

FATHER KENNETH BAKER Foreign Language SR. FRANCISCA, R. S. M. MR. WILLIAM VOGEL Classical Language The principal goal of the Classical Language Department is to develop the ability to read and comprehend Latin and Greek. In reaching this goal, several secondary goals will be achieved: an insight into the nature and struc- ture of language in general, an alertness t0 the possibilities and value of increasing English vocabulary by reference to Latin and Greek words, a respect for logical thinking, an appreciation of the contribution that Roman and Greek Civilization has made to our Whole Western culture, and the absorbtion of human ideals and values through contact with the great works of Classical literature. Growth in speaking, reading, and writing a second language is essentially growth in the marvelous art of communications between persons. This growth is the primary purpose of the foreign language department at Badin. French, Spanish, and Italian have been stud- ied in an effort to learn the language patterns of these people so as to penetrate to the spirit and culture of these nations. It is hoped that life interests and careers may develop from these courses. Above all, that each student may develop into a wiser and richer person because of foreign-language study, is the over-all goal of the department. MRS. CHARLES BOSSERT
