.L in 1-miss Science A new course was added to the Science Department. Two new teachers, James Evans and John McClure, were added to the Science Department. These teachers joined an excellent staff of experienced teachers. The new teachers were needed because of the increased class load of the science teach- ers. Also, due to the growing interest in the field of computer science, three new computers were purchased and students were offered a course in Applied Computer Science.
