B.S. 1 year Eugene T. Regal U. of Wisconsin. M.A. 12 years Because today’s world places an increas- ing emphasis on scientific advances, the SCIENCE department provides each student with a background necessary to his under- standing of the world around him. The department, under the direction of Mr. Leathers, attains this goal through a program which emphasizes not only the understand- ing of scientific facts and principles, but also the application of these facts and prin- ciples to everyday life. The science department includes both introductory and advanced courses. Basic courses in biology, physical science, and everyday chemistry arc supplemented by col- lege preparatory courses in physics and reg- ular chemistry. The superior student may select cither an honors science course, com- posed of one semester each of college level work in physics and chemistry', or a second year of biology. The well-balanced program, qualified in- structors, modern laboratory facilities, and constantly improving teaching techniques provide the quality of education which is a tradition in the department. Alan Jordon, Cindy Jamiol. Jancdd Tuma. and Robert Waligora prepare for a test on the metric sys- tem, one of the six-unit divisions in underclass physical science course.
