Science was a fascinating fie Miss laura Allen A.B., M.A. Biology, Scholastic Committee Mr. James Boal B.5. Chemistry, Chemistry Proiect Club Mr. David Barnhart B.S., M.Ed. Practical Chemistry, Biology, World History, Social Dancing Club, Key Club, Senior Class Adviser Mr. Peter Pasko B.S., M.S. Biology, Consumer Education, Bas- ketball Club, .IV Basketball Coach, Assistant Track Coach, Junior Class Adviser Gary Driehaup witnesses an amazing experiment by Mr. Albert Clark as Carol Tracy's flying hair demonstrates the electrostatic effect of the Van De Graaff Generator during physics class. One obiective of our science pro- gram is to restore the importance of subiect matter in our educational pro- cess. Next, we wish to transfer the responsibility for the learning process from the teacher to the student. We intend to create the conditions neces- sary for learning, and expect the stu- dent to seek his own level of accom- plishment. Finally, we seek to broad- en the avenues of learning by ap- pealing to all the senses involved in the learning situation. We believe these immediate goals will prepare our students to live in this Space Age and adapt themselves to the so- cial, economic and moral values needed in their lives. The science program in our school originates with a course in biology at the sophomore level, followed by chemistry in the junior year and phy- sics for the seniors. The content of these courses follows the format of classical and modern science. One innovation this year is the addition of a radiation detection study to sup- plement our units on atomic and nu- clear energy. The radiological instru- ments for the program are supplied by the Civil Defense Administration.

Solutions to math problems were revealed Modern mathematics with its rami- fications into every conceivable area of thought is like a tree. We shall mount, climb out on a few sturdy limbs, return to the trunk, ascend a little higher, then branch out once more. Most of our time will be spent exploring the branches, which will support us between the periodic in- tervals of rising on the trunk. Since we are not climbing on a dare or run- ning a race, but are engaged in our activities in search of knowledge, we shall, in human fashion, explore the more practical side of mathematics also. We, at Bradford, offer the tradi- tional mathematics courses. Some of these courses will be shortened in a few years and we hope to offer sta- tistics, which is no longer glorified bookkeeping but a means of testing hypotheses, controlling industrial pro- cesses and describing the nature of matter. Analytic geometry and cal- culus concepts, freed of manipulative details, are also in the planning stage.
