and an Awareness of the World Around Us Well, class, Will it expand? SCIENCE DEPARTMENT To make students aware of the world around them is one of the primary goals of the science department at G.H.S. Under the direction of Mr. Robert W. Card, this department offers a variety of courses suited to every interest. In general science the beginnings of the physical sciences such as matter, heat and elements, are studied. These principles are later pursued more ex- tensively in College Physics and Chemistry. Biology and Physiology are studies of living organisms, from an amoeba to the human body, while Practical Physics and Practical Chemistry teach more about the applications of scientific ideas to every day life.

In Geography and World History they learn about man’s enviroment and the development of his culture. United States History and Civics teach pupils their American heritage and prepares them to be the voting citizens of the future. Seniors taking American Democracy become more aware of American domestic problems. Other students study international relations and foreign policy.

Curtis, head of the art depart- ment, teaches fine art, art, and art appreciation. In this area one is able to express his talent on paper. Under the capable instruction of Miss Mary J. Nugent, many students have learned to work with their hands. In her crafts courses, they have made stained medallions, charming pieces of pottery, block- prints, intricate stencils, and expert tray decorations. Mr. Hooper and Mr. Lopes, by teaching Mechani- cal Drawing, also help to develop an interest in the arts.
