Course 77fze,bafzea az Zalfege, Angle x : ? To obtain a basic liberal arts education designed for college preparation, the Academic Course is the one to take. Fields of study chosen by the student may cover a wide range. Three years of English and social studies are required as well as one year of either biology, physics, or chemistry. The gradu- ating senior has studied a foreign language and mathematics, each for at least two years. Students in a foreign language class struggle with conjuga- tions, idioms and pronunciation. Some of these classes work on scrapbook articles to send to Cl-lS's affiliated school in Guebwil- ler, France. Students in English and Problems of Democracy pore over books as they gather information for research papers and have lively discussions on topics including Greek literature and federal government. ln physics or chemistry class the stu- dents are lost in a maze of apparatus as they conduct experiments about pulleys and levers, acids and distillation, while biology students peer into microscopes or dissect animals. Those in algebra, geometry, or trigonometry classes ponder over equations, proofs, and problems in an effort to make sense of x's and y's, planes and angles. I6 In the lab Typing class
