SCIENCE MET CHALLENGES The Science Department met the challenge of a modern society by offering opportunities for students to broaden their scientific knowledge. Chemistry was offered to sophomores who met certain scholastic requirements. Botanical and zoo- logical specimens were grown in bathtubs and gallon jars in the tunnels beneath the school. An increase of greenhouse space will be available for students who wish to pursue advanced plant studies after the completion of the geodesic dome in the inner court. These changes and improvements surpassed many of those of previous years. 94, 739 rulers equal a long stick. Mr. Howard Smith — Physical Science, Physics Chemistry I students learn that precise measurements are a necessity. 28

Changes in the Math Department provided students with improved programs. The combination of solid and plane ge- ometry to form one course, as well as the combination of Alge- bra II and Trigonometry, gave students a wider range of mathematics which required fewer classes. This year marked the first offering of a second year of High School Arithmetic, thereby assisting students to make higher grades on employ- ment or scholarship tests. Standardized tests were given at the beginning and end of the school year to determine whether students improved their competence of the subject. These and other improvements promoted and stimulated challenges for future mathematicians. This assignment is a reject! Mr. Richard Daffinee— H.S. Math I.
