 Here’s the heart and here’s the liver,’’ explains Mr. Dallas Queck as curious zoology students examine the carp more carefully. Science Relates Secrets of the World MR. JOHN PELLETIER Physics A modern world growing more scientifically-minded each year, demands certain basic knowledge of its principles and laws by all. Common mem- ories of students who have elected the popular science course, biology, include dissecting grasshoppers, frogs, and crayfish, experiences which aid in understanding universal scientific theories. Those interested in pursuing the basic biology course at a more detailed level may choose the one-semester courses, physiology, a study of the human system; and zoology, which involves comparisons of typical animal forms. The prospect of a year’s course in the physical development of the earth influ- ences many to elect earth science. Offered to juniors and seniors, physics and chemistry cover the analysis of the physical laws of the universe and the fundamental changes in matter. MR. IRA DUNSWORTH Biology Physiology Coaching MR.

Don't just sit there, ask some questions! demands Mr. Robert Williams after administering a psychology lecture. Social Studies Show Past and Present MISS VERA EHLERS Ancient History Medieval History World History The three required social studies courses and the many optional ones enable each CHS student to develop a greater understanding of the world around him. By taking American history in the junior year and a semester of American government and one semester of either economics or soci- ology as seniors, students receive an education of the major instruments of their society. History courses acquaint students with the past in order to provide a better understanding of the problems and ideas in the Twentieth Century. Whether through the survey course of world history or in the enrichment courses, ancient, medieval, and modern history; social studies students gain an appre- ciation of each man's part in the panorama of the story of man. The individual is stressed in the one-semester course, psychology. Through a variety of sub- jects the department gives students a broader and deeper education in the study of mankind. MR.
