Science Adds New Course Although the curriculum requirements in the Dearborn schools are among the highest in the state, the Fordson Science Department has answered the cry for more required science classes.

Besides the basic classes, the Science Department offers such electives as Photography, Con- servation, and Aviation Science.

Math Classes Challenge Students Each year there is an in- creasing demand for mathema- tics at Fordson. Students at Fordson have the opportunity to choose from a wide variety of math classes from the basic refresher course to advanced mathematics, such as trigonometry and pre-calculus. Students may also take Computer Math 1 and 2 or Data Processing. Fordson students were sad- dened to hear the news of Mr. Robert Olsen’s death this past summer.
