It is his job to co-ordinate and supervise the teaching of the eleven mathematics teachers. Only one year of matematics is required for graduation, but more than five years of mathematics are offered at GW. The school presents to the aggressive student one of the best pre-college curricula in mathematics. The subjects taught include general mathematics, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, and mathematical analysis. 'THIS IS BOUND TO BE RIGHT , soys Bill Flockhorr to Miss Iddings. MRS.

NICHOLAS GARNER Physics, Biology Mr. Hillmon watches os Spiros Anthony completes an experiment. SCIENCE Under Mr. Williom Hillman's guidance, the Science Department provides students with a wide variety of subjects, including general science, biology, chemistry, and physics. Since only one year of science is required for graduation, many students do not take advantage of the opportunities offered at GW. One of the major projects of the department is the Annual Science Fair. Students from GW, Francis Hammond, and Jefferson High Schools may participate in this activity. Because science is becoming an increasingly important subject, the school has built a new chemistry laboratory. It was first put to use in 1961. MR. FRANK KAPRIVA General Science, Chemistry MR.
