Expands Under Curriculum Revision It is the desire of the Mathematics Department to offer the program which will best fit the needs of the students. In the past year a complete revision of the structure of the curriculum was undertaken. By restructuring the courses, a more diversified program consisting of a one year course, two semester courses and fourteen nine week courses are available for selection by the students. This program also enables a student to take more than one math course in any one nine weeks period. The availability of courses ranging from those dealing with theory to those dealing with application of math to the modern world. Homework is a major part of learning the basic rules of math as Miss Modesitt will testify. 19

Flexible Scheduling Offers New 20 This year the science curriculum was reorganized to provide a broader, more meaningful offering to the students. The courses have been broken down into four and a half week units with the students being rescheduled every four and a half weeks. A program of this type allows the teachers to work in their strongest areas and students to concentrate their work in the areas that provide the greatest interest to them. They have a choice of over 60 different science units. In addition to the standard credits, they may take advanced work or study independently. As head of the Science Department Mr Kenyon has many duties. Here he teaches Reduction Division to his cell physiology class. Smiling faces appear as Mr. Salmi turns back Rosiland Byers and Greg Raymer’s Heredity test papers.
