and Balances Because many parents of Brandywine students are em- ployed in scientific work, these students are encouraged to enroll in our science courses. The science department then continues the encouragement throughout high school. It directs scientifically talented students toward a career in science. All students are encouraged toward an understand- ing of basic scientific principles. Our science department offers a four-year coverage of a basic course in each of general science, biology, chemistry, and physics. At this time, there are 222 students taking general science, 158 taking biology, 128 taking chemistry, and 43 taking physics. These are designed to support the different levels of high specialization desired by the student. The objectives of the department are: 1.1 to develop an understanding of functional principles and concepts based on fact and experimentation, 2.3 to develop laboratory skills, 3.3 to encourage intellectual curiosity and satisfaction in achievement. The necessary facilities and staff are available to support the achievement of these goals through a program designed to challenge the varied interests of all students. Constant effort is made to seek out and develop special talents. For the future, every effort will be extended to re-evalu- ate and plan these courses of study to best reflect the changing requirements of modern times. DR. PHYLLIS L.

PIZOR Head of Business Department, Business Education, Shorthand llg Typing lllg Bookkeeping, Business Introduction, Office Practice, Grove City College, B.S. in Commerce, University of Pittsburgh, M.Ed. Dollars, Ditto Our Business department offers courses in short- hand, typing, clerical practice, business English, office practice, bookkeeping, business math, and business introduction. These subiects are required for business students but elective for academic students. About 115 students are now taking the business course of study. The obiectives of the department are to teach students to be secretaries, stenographers, and gen- eral office workers, and to offer elective business courses to academic students. The philosophy is to offer as wide a range of subiects as the enrollment demands. The department hopes to have a work ex- perience program soon. When and if necessary, another teacher and a course in distributive educa- tion will be added to the department. ln the near future they hope to have all electric typewriters. Typing class in action!
