I Row One: Mr. H. Appell, Mrs. M. Rowland. Row Two: Mr. K. Beal, Mr. C. Bennett, Mr. V. Stevens. Department During the past three years, the Science De- partment has been greatly renovated. Earth Science, formerly a regents subject in the ninth grade, has changed status to that of a twelfth grade elective. In place of Earth Science, Science 231 is being offered. Science 231 is an introductory course in Chemistry and Physics. The non-regents courses have also been changed. Non-regents students may take General Science in their Freshman year, non-regents Biology in their Sophomore year, and Physical science in their Junior year. The purpose of the non-regents sequence is to provide those students not continuing their education beyond High School with a general background in Science. Unlike the High School program, the Junior High program requires that each student take Science each year. The sixth grade classes are taught by Mr. Stevens and Mrs. Rowland. Their course follows the regular sixth grade plan, includ- ing electricity and weather. Mr. Bennett is in charge of the seventh grade classes which learn about Biology and Health. The Eighth grade stu- dents study Earth Science and Physics under Mr. Appell and Mr. Beal. The whole Junior High Sci- ence program is becoming more advanced. Mr. Appell simplifies lunar motion
