The math department is no longer sure whether 2 + 2 = 4, With the new mathematics program, teach- ers are de-emphasizing computation and stressing an understanding of theory. During the past few years, the science department has also revamped its pro- gram, using experimental courses, such as CBA and Chem Study, as well as the more traditional ap- proaches. The students in the experimental groups per- form experiments and draw their own conclusions, rather than finding the expected results in the text- book first. An industrial arts student, working with fine equipment, applies to practical ends the theories of math and science. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT BACK ROW: Mr. Edwards, Mr. Hanson, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Eisemon.

Today there is more of a demand for business education than ever before. Meeting this demand, the department has expanded its program to offer courses in office machines, typing, short- hand, bookkeeping and secretarial practice. The language department offers an unusual number of languages — French, German, Italian, Latin, and Spanish. Different methods used to teach them have placed equal stress on the spoken language, grammar, and vocabulary. Students in social studies classes emerge well aware of the presence of the post. They learn the importance of current events by seeing how today's problems originated. 17
