SCIENCE DEPARTMENT When our new addition to the school was being planned, someone realized that one of the basic needs of our time is the need for science. In the process of re- modeling, our students were given one of the best equipped science departments a high school could have. This year, the second in our new buildings, brought more new equipment as a necessary aid to students in their search for scientific knowledge. MISS FRANCES H. BIESTER 1114 Primos Avenue Sccanc, Pa.

By studying foreign languages, it is felt a student can learn to ap- preciate the differences between his own culture and that of other people. This year the Language Department has emphasized the spoken language, rather than the written language in order to give the student a better understanding of what he hears, and to help him speak more fluently. Having acquired this basic understanding, the student is equipped with a background preparing him for further practical use of the lan- guage, or for more advanced study. 11

The order of the universe MR. RICHARD HEACOCK 641 16th Avenue Prospect Park, Pa. Temple University, B.S., M.S.; Plane Geometry, Al- gebra I; Head, Mathematics Dept. ADVANCED MATH CLASSES arc offered to interested students after school hours. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT MR. THOMAS M. KOES R.D. 1 Doylestown, Pa. Delaware Valley College, B.S.; Biology, Practical Math; Car Club. Reasoning out a problem is not always easy. However, separating the important facts and carefully working with them to achieve a correct solution are not only goals of our Mathematics Department, but they are also a necessity for a success- ful life. Along with the basic courses of geom- etry and algebra, more advanced courses in trigonometry and solid geometry are taught. This variety of courses enables each of our students to learn and use the fundamentals of mathematics in his own particular field.
