Mathematics Courses Help Us To Think Logically Taking into consideration vary- ing needs and levels of ability, the math department offers something for everbody. We can acquire just basic computational skills or ex- plore advanced mathematics in cal- culus. Mathematics teaches us discip- line, as well as logic. Many of those difficult problems require nothing more than stick-to-it- iveness. Math provides us with a better understanding of the tech- nological society in which we live.

Future Scientists Forge Their Beginnings Great Valley harbors an en- thusiastic science department. Activities range from the sludge test in 1. P. S . , to the frog dis- section in biology, to labora- tory explosions in chemistry, all culminating with calculating the velocity of the moon in physics. Excursions with science classes take students away from the classroom as they explore the terrestial and aquatic vistas of the world. When students are less than entralled with science, they may end their frustration after two years. . . and, for those somewhat -crazed but serious science students, advanced lev- els of biology, chemistry, and physics are available for them to pursue. By taking advantage of the various offerings of the science department students have an opportunity to learn a- bout their bodies and their en- vironment on both the atomic and planetary level. Mr. Ellis demonstrates frog dissection. Cham. II challenges Andy and Jim. iiik I. p. S. students attempt a lab. Mr. Grant helps Joe with a problem. K ' Sarge Colon and Colonel Caplan size up the situation. As the instructors of the ROTC program, these two propel students through all levels of Aerospace.

Social Studies Classes Teach Culture, Politics, Etc. Each year the scope of the social studies curriculum narrows until it focuses on the U S government alone. We begin by learning about other cultures, then the history of ' our own country- and finish off by trying to understand the intricacies of our govern- ment and economic system. We are also given the opportumt - to explore other areas in the social sciences through a variety of electives. The social studies teachers make good use of audio visual aids. They also involve their students m group activities. It is through social studies classes that we learn to conduct research. Social studies classes are an important part of our high school curriculum. Mr. Sapone in deep reflection. Mr, Kocher-incognito. What? Did somebody say something? 3 Mr, Kocher-cognito.
