In United States History I, iuniors learn the history of our great nation from the first explorers to present days. In United States History II, taught by Mr. Gillespie and Mr. Fedele, the seniors continue their study of the political history of our country and also study its economic development. World History, taught by Mr. Clarke, presents the history of man, from prehistoric times.

SCIENCE Science carries us into zones of speculati where there is often no habitable city for the mind of man. . . The study of science not only contributes to a general broadening of a student's edu- cation, but also emphasizes the importance of teamwork and systematic thought. The high school offers a curriculum which allows a student to develop his interests and skills in this field to a very high degree. The first course in the program is general science, in which Dr. Montgomery and Mr. Bolmarcich introduce the fundamental con- cepts. If a student has shown exceptional ability in iunior high, he studies freshman biology. This study of Iife teaches him about his environment. A sophomore may study either biology under Mr. Mamchur or Mr. Bolmarcich, or chemistry, under Mr. Bishop. Laboratory work shows the second-year student the necessity for precision. Juniors following the advanced program then progress to the elements of physics with Dr. Marchesi. Those in the regular se- quence study chemistry. As seniors, students who have successfully completed the three basic sciences may elect either advanced biology or advanced phys- ics, consisting of work on college freshman level. In May, the seniors take the Ad- vanced Placement Examinations. lf their scores are satisfactory, they will be allowed to start college courses also at an advanced line. By offering these courses to its students, the high school hopes to develop mature students, who will continue independent work in the biological and physical sciences. LEFT TO RIGHT: E. Siraki, J.

BUSINESS EDUCATION R. Bagolie and M. Sartori-and a basic business skill. M. Outwater-and another basic skill. 'I'o those composing if, the business world is a marvel: to those observing, it is even more so. . . Hasbrouck Heights High School is very fortunate to have an efficient business course that includes general business training, commercial arithmetic, stenography, office prac- tice, typing, bookkeeping, and business machines. Teach- ing these courses are Mrs. Phillips, Mrs. Hosler, Mrs. Free- man, and Mr. Godowski, the head of the department. This year a special program was set up for the girls in Steno. II and office practice. Each girl was placed in an office in or around the Hasbrouck Heights-Teterboro area for on-the-job training. These girls filed, typed, took dic- tation, used various business machines and practiced good business habits as a secretary for these offices and firms. A student completing this course has no difficulty ob- taining the position of her choice after graduation because of the complete program offered by our school.
