Winston Carter, Mr. john Coley, Mr. Ronald Miecznikowski, Mr. Lawrence Bodner, Mrs. Carolyn Dwinnellsg Standing left to right: Mr. Science is fascinating! It is a study of the flowers in our backyards, the jet planes that shoot across the skies, and the materials that make up the new fabrics. Our Science De- partment has for its purpose the teaching of a method of reasoning by experimentation. Also, each individual course has a separate field with which it acquaints the student, such as the study of plants and animals in biology. BHS students enjoy science very much, not only because of its interest, but also because of the wonderful teachers in the department. K. Mantei, V. Lombardo, and J. Eisenhauer check their General Science grades with Mr. Sonstroem. -.. .. y . ,., t -:f i ' i 2 Nw' 4.34 if ll, ffl George Stumpp, Mr. John Harrison, Mr. Gordon Sonstroem, Mr. Thomas Monahan, Mr. Norman Johnson, Mr. Louis Hyatt, Mr. Bruce Elliott, Mr. Robert Douglas.

That is the objective of the Math Department, to teach students the art of reasoning. Courses offered include algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and analysis, a course only recently begun which attempts to present the student with the beginnings of calculus. Our students who take math find it a different, challenging experience. Here homework is like the puzzles we try to solve for fun. And as any math student will tell you, the teachers in the department are really the ugreatestf' K. Cafferty constructs a graph in Algebra II while Mr. Cooke looks on.

The Business Department generally offers courses to fffm' those students who are preparing to start work immediately after graduation from high school. However, some of its courses, such as typing, are sampled by students in the college curriculum, too. Business subjects usually aim to develop special skills, such as stenography or bookkeeping. If you have never taken a business course, you might think that such subjects would be uninteresting, but this could never happen with the splendid staff of teachers we have in our Business Department.
