With the enrollment of almost 90 per cent of the entire student body in various language courses, CHS has put forth her utmost effort to encourage the development of her language department. First year courses teach the fundamentals of the different languages. Second and third year language stu- dents enjoy the benefits of an efficiently equipped language lab which was installed for use for the first time this year.

y l Mr. Neal Thomas heads Science Section. Mr. Neal Thomas, head of the science department, and Claudia Conn look over their notification to attend the Youth Conference on the Atom in Chicago. All graduates of CHS are required to have at least one year of science during the course of high school years. This subject, which is Biology, is usually taken during the freshman or sophomore year. Other students who are courageous enough to venture- on scientifically, take chemistry and physics the remaining two years. The science department, headed by the well known teacher, Neal Thomas, is very adequately supplied with various forms of equipment and a crew of capable instructors. Modern equipment aids' the science department greatly. Here, Mr. Moore, biology teacher, explains the operations of the heart, using a plastic model.

Mathematics, an important part of the curriculum, is Kenneth Gibbs, under the supervision of Mr. Bennett, constructs a geometrical figure for class explanation. Since a large majority of the student body at CHS is enrolled in math classes of some sort, this particular department has a crew of qualified teachers who stress the importance of these sub- jects. At least two years of math, in either algebra or general math, are required for a student to graduate. lt is highly recommended that other math courses are taken, which may include advanced algebra, trigonometry, plane geometry, and solid geometry. Aside from the principle elements taught in math that we use throughout the rest of our lives, math also develops our ability to reason clearly and precisely.
