BUSINESS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT The Business Education Department is headed by Mr. Alge Vaitones. Students taking business courses receive ex- cellent training that enables many of the graduates to as- sume jobs in the business field immediately upon gradua- tion. Other students go on to receive further education in other fields. However the skills and training they receive from this department are invaluable in their chosen voca- tion, whatever it may be. The development of selected busi- ness skills in the classroom enable the business student to take his place confidently in the business world. THOMAS J.

SCIENCE DEPARTMENT The focus on science during recent years has challenged the Science Department, headed by Robert W. Card, to make its offerings perti- nent to the lives of Gloucester High Schools students. In addition to the courses found in most high schools, Gloucester offers a physiol- ogy course for girls and a Marine Studies course for selected students in the senior year. Currently there is being carried on an experi- mental program to introduce some laboratory work in the ninth grade course of General Science. The goal of the Department is to pro- vide each pupil with a nodding acquaintance with the major fields of science, while offering opportunity for stimulation and pursuit of special interests whenever they may be found.
