10 MR. FORBUSH MR. SEXTON Mr. Forbush serves as chairman of the math and science department. In the math department, Mr. Forbush teaches the more mathematically inclined in Analysis, Math 12 and Math 13. Mr. Sexton and Mr. Samuel teach the algebra classes — Mr. Sexton with the aid of his Mickey Mouse hat and Mr. Samuel with the aid of “groob” and “phatz.” Mr. Samuel is also responsible for teaching students that geometry is as easy as “pi.” In the seventh grade students begin math with Mr. Bishow, whose enthusi- asm mesmerizes the seventh graders, who madly attack word problems and beginning algebra.

Seventh and eighth graders start French with Mr. Brumit. Their general cries of “Bonjour” to all they meet indicate some of their enthusiasm. Ninth graders may then elect French taught by Mrs. Kay. Mrs. Thomp- son then emphasizes literature and culture in French II and HI. French IV classes with Mrs. Cornblath concentrate on literature almost exclusively. MR. BRUMIT MRS. KAY MRS. THOMPSON MRS. CORNBLATH Madame Teller is in charge of the Spanish department, teaching the two levels offered, plus French in Lower School grades.

Science in the Upper School begins with the seventh grade where biological science is taught by Mr. Bishow and Mr. Davis. Mrs. Kearse instructs the eighth grade classes in courses which are orient- ed towards earth science and the ninth grade class which is a lab-oriented course. Having completed these general subjects, Mr. Davis sends sophomores microbe hunting in his Biology course. Juniors and Seniors may then choose: Chemistry taught by Miss Sweeney (she teaches Algebra, too) or Physics taught by Mr. Forbush. This year a new course has been added to the Science department — Mr. Forbush’s ‘Survey of Science” for those. who enjoy “fireside science.” — MISS SWEENEY . BISHOW MRS. KEARSE MR. DAVIS
