Experimentation plavs a large par t in the study of chemistry. Dissection plays an important role in biology. Science Department This department provides opportunities for all stu¬ dents to observe and experiment in the limitless fields of science. Attempts are made to fulfill the needs of students with specific abilities and to encourage these students to seek careers in science. The curriculum is planned emphasizing the import¬ ance of the major scientific principles, their discovery, and application as preparation for the role of science in the evolving atomic and space age. The most important innovation this year was the new Chem Study program. Activities included a visit to the Planetarium and lectures in our classes by area students. MISS CAROL DEAL MRS.

MR. PAUL WEBER Department Chairman MR. RICHARD BESNIER MISS NANCY BIRCH MR. JOHN HULEN MRS. BERNICE LILLY MISS CAROLYN MORRISON MR. DICK WICKLINE Department of Physical Education The principle aim of the Physical Education De¬ partment is to teach each student the importance of physical fitness, both now and in the years to come. Participation in games and exercises develops not only the physical ability, but the mental ability of each student. The department has instituted a method of cooperative teaching, in which the coach of each varsity team lends his talent to the instruction of all students in his particular sport. To the curriculum have been added gymnastics and fencing, for which new equip¬ ment was obtained. Mr. Wickline directs his physical fitness program.
