H. Howard Lynch, Chairman SCIENCE DEPARTMENTS In this age of extensive scientific achievement, Science courses have assumed an important place in Classical’s curriculum. Chemistry, physics, biol- ogy, and physiology are available to students as are special courses in botany and astronomy for those who desire them. The teachers present these subjects in a most interesting manner, using mate- rial as up io the minute as possible. The labora- tories are well equipped with modern scientific equipment. There is nothing more exciting than a period spent in working with electricity, in study- ing the development of plant, animal or human life, or in conducting chemical experiments.

Seatep Lerr to Ricutr: Helen Flanagan, Edna Marston. Kelley, Leland W. Smith, Dorothy Parkman. Leland W. Smith, Chairman LNA: MATH FACULTY 26 Sranpinc Lerr to Ricut: Margaret MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT Certainly one of the most interesting departments at Classical is the Mathe- matics Department. Here we find several mathematics courses, varied enough to suit every student’s taste. Algebra, geometry, and trigonometry are offered in the C.P. course; consumer’s math is given to sen- iors in the general course. In this course a student learns how to make household budgets and to fill out tax forms. Besides the varied subjects, another feature which accounts for the popularity of the Mathe- matics Department is the teaching staff. All the teachers, of course, know their sub- ject well, but they also know how to pre- sent their subjects in an interesting, in- formative manner.
