(Left) Who said physics is all work and no play? Kar- en Bank illustrates one of its basic laws through the use of a bicycle wheel. (Above) Freshmen are re- quired to take either bi- ology or general science. The principles involved in communications are one area of study in general science. Math And Science Courses Are Essential Factors

A c a d e m i c s 1964 will come and go, and when it does, it will leave many students wishing they had lingered awhile longer on those math problems or in writing that term paper. That’s the way it will always be. Students still spend much of their study time griping about how much homework they have and day dreaming about the Varsity Club dance, the football game Friday night or even tomorrow morning when they can see him” again. In the future when the alumni Linger Awhile on the big events of their high school lives, nine chances out of ten it will be a social event or an extra curri- cular activity, but on the tenth try maybe they will see that what they ve become in the years between high school and that will be because of what went on in the classroom and how they used those extra study hours.

Of Progress In Modern Space Age General math stresses the basic axioms of mathematics. Students obtain a fundamental background in math as freshmen. America has long been famous for great achievements in the field of technology, the prac- tical application of science to industry. Thus, science is of great importance to our Amerian society. Calumet offers a variety of science courses to suit these needs. The study of science begins with biology, a study of plants and animals, and general science, where basic scientific fundamentals are taught. For students wishing to continue in this field, chemistry and advanced chemistry, consisting of lab experiments and lectures, are offered. Phy- sics, the study of matter and energy, is also offer- ed. The wide variety of math courses offered at Calumet provides a student with adequate know- ledge of mathematical operations including prac- tically anything from business math courses to trigo- nometry. MW Barbara Cooley centrifuges her qual in an effort to determine just what the unknown solu- tion contains. The course in physics provides lab periods for experimenta- tion as well as class room lec- tures.
