ADDITICNAL FACILITIES FOR SCIENCE DEPARTMENT The Science Department has improved its facilities with the remodeling of Room 10. Now all three science labs are located in the same part of the build- ing. The new addition will provide more laboratory space for all science students. It is hoped that some- time in the near future a greenhouse may be provided for botanical and ecological studies. The IPS course that was incorporated into our curricu- lum last year is definitely an asset. It is providing freshmen with a good basic foundation in laboratory and problem solving techniques that will aid all ad- vanced science courses. Biology Department has revised its curriculum for next year. Biology course contents have been changed and categorized into semester courses with all prerequisites listed. The Department wishes each ear to provide more and ABOVE: Mr. D. Fitzpatrick Y better opportunities for all students interested in science. ABOVE: Mr. V. Cecil RIGHT: Einstein at work!
