The budding scientist inhabiting the labs of the “C” corridor employ such equipment in seeking to learn more about the nature of the world about us. The preciseness of measurement, the excitement of a Mr. De Martinis Specialist 18 chemical reaction, the curiosity of a dissection—each of these factors helps to lead the interested and sincere student to a more perfect understanding of the organ- ization of the universe. With the increasing emphasis of the sciences in to- day’s modern world, the Science Department has be- come an integral part of B. H. S. Visual Aids To make learning a more stimulating experience is the primary function of the Audio-Visual Department. When students can view slides of Renaissance art or listen to actors perform a Shakespearean tragedy, new dimensions in education are achieved. Thus, by offer- ing a wide range of instructional materials this depart- ment helps to give students a keener appreciation of the world in which we live.

Miss Kilgore Department Head Mrs. DiNapoli A ‘ Mrs. Marvin Music Department The Music Department has several different offerings by way of courses and extra-curricular activities to fulfill the students’ needs. For those who wish to study music as a major subject, special courses are provided. Students who enjoy singing may join the Gen- eral Chorus or the Girls Glee Club. Young Thespians demonstrate their talent in musicals sponsored by the senior class. Instrumental students find their place in the School band, or spe- cial groups such as the Dixieland Band. Thus music, “the soul’s own speech”, finds its many forms of expression within the department. i Fine Arts Department The art program of Burlington High School stresses creativity, visual percep- tion and self expression. The program offers five courses of study which are conducted in a relaxed studio atmos- phere. The program endeavors to de- velop a keener awareness of aesthetic values and to provide an opportunity to explore personal interest and aptitudes. A study of art history is made for further understanding of cultures past and pre- sent. The program strives to develop a sense of selectivity in the use of art at home, in the school, and in the commu- nity. For those students who wish to con- tinue in art or its allied fields as either a vocation or avocation, courses offer a basis on which to build. Mr. Deechan Department Head Mr. Lussier Mr. Wood
