College at California, Pa. APAGA fAstronomical, Physical, and Geological Associationl Assistant Coach of Track At Gateway, the scientific pro- gram has been geared to each level of need. This begins in the required course, biology, which is divided into two sectionsg one for students in the vocational or commercial course and the second for those planning to go on to college. The chemistry division includes ad- vanced nursing and regular college preparatory chemistry. Physics is a complete unit in itself. If the stu- dent wants an overall picture of science he may elect senior science. Although each particular course has its own objective, the main ob- jective of the whole science depart- ment is to develop creative think- ing. What are these sciences? Biol- ogy is the study of living things, the science dealing with the compo- sition of materials is chemistry, and physics is concerned primarily with changes in materials. A nontechni- cal resume of the common laws of the three sciences is studied in sen- ior science. The science students of Gateway acquire their knowledge first from textbooks and then through practi- cal application in the best equipped laboratories in Western Pennsyl- vania. Science is now playing an important role in the lives and de- velopment of Gateway's students.

Paul G. Erickson Bachelor of Science Indiana State Teachers College 1960 Portavian, Special Services For interested and talented students, the Art Department of Gateway was an outlet for creative expression. Those who were consider- ing art for a career were offered expert guidance and excellent supplies. The department consists of two main areas: the art section for students interested in draw- ing, painting and design, and the craft section offering pottery, jewelry, ceramics, leather, and wood sculpture. Instruction in both areas stressed fundamentals and individual expres- sion. These areas also include classes in com- mercial and advanced art for people who had taken art previously. Classes were instructed by Mr. Erickson and Mr. Landis. Through this fine art program students were given a chance to display their abilities and talents through displays and ex- hibits throughout the school district. A drawing lesson is motivated by Mr. Erickson. ART PUT THOUGHTS IN DESIGNS. T' ,1 ii, .l X6 Alan L.
