Biology converts to mini The Science Department offered a variety of courses for general requirements and also for the col- lege preparatory students. Offering nine week mini-courses proved to be an asset to the department. Each student must have obtained at least one credit in biology and at least one in Physical Science upon grad- uation. Many college bound stu- dents followed up Physical Science with Chemistry or Physics. Ad- vanced courses were introduced this year; Microbiology, Human Reproduction, and Graphoptics.

Eo eer through individualized work The newest and most important word in the Math Department this year was change. Students partic- ipated in a pilot program under the State Department of Public Instruction. For the math teachers, the school year did not start its customary three days before stu- dents began, but months before, in the planning of this program. The stress of this program was on individualization. Each student worked at his own speed, and took the tests at his own speed. Three varieties of each course were of- fered: an honors, college prep, and minimum course in each class. The new individualized study did not apply to General Math or Consum- er Math.
