The Yale Plan was named and started hy a group of students at Yale university who devised a method for teaching higher math to high school students.

Science Department WALTER COTTLE MRS. RUTH HULL JOSEPH ZUCCA RICHARD DE VOE PAUL MERRICK DAVID ATTWOOD JAMES LINDHOLM RAYMOND GOTTHOLD JERRETT ROLLINS WHO ' S GONE, MAN? The Science department underwent many changes under the guidance chairman, Walter Cottle. The Physiology class had a change of text that includes more activities, more on endocrinology and metabolism, and more on chemistry, in addi ' tion to the structure and physiology of the body. As a result of summer revision, the emphasis in the General Science course was on individual student project work and comparative anatomy study, including new project laboratory experi- ence. The Science Fair, co ' sponsored this year by the P.T.A., was the biggest event of the year for the Science department. Approximately 200 people organized and helped the fair get under way. Twenty-three displays by different industries were a major attraction, but the main attraction wis still the students ' projects. The object of this fair was to focus attention on the many talented science students who deserve recognition. The Science department ' s staff is extremely well- trained and experienced. They have had, all together, 56 years of college work, each teacher having at least six years of college. These teachers hoped to enable students to live in a rapidly moving and scientific world. The classes should help students to think and reason more logically and might interest some of them in scientific professions. WILL IT EXPLODE?
