MATH DEPARTMENT “It’s magic!” R. E. Davis patiently answers to the constant query “How did you do that?” But in reality, in the new Students Mathematics Study Group, ini¬ tiated at Stuart last year, math students are able to learn for themselves the “why” as well as the “how” of mathemat¬ ical procedures. It is hoped that the rea¬ soning ability developed through this type of course will be vital in other subjects, as well as in the mathematics courses. Mr. Davis eagerly anticipates his next class.

These and other incredu¬ lous cries can be heard constantly echoing from the hall of the Social Studies Department, where classes in World Geography, World History, U.S. History, and U.S. Government are taught. Whether the social stu¬ dies student is loudly participating in one of the active debates in Mr. Baker’s class’s mock U.S. Senate, atten¬ tively listening to one of Col. Kait’s informative lec¬ tures on Communism, or taking part in any other stimu¬ lating historical, geographical, or governmental pursuit, he is sure to finish his studies with a deeper apprecia¬ tion and keener awareness of the world around him.

Miss Shughrou, Science Department head SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Burble, gurgle, rumble, SSSSSSSS . . . BOOM! “What happened?” These sounds, along with the perennial comment “What in the world is that horrible smell?”, are often emitted from the Sci¬ ence Department’s labs. All the physics classes were changed this year to PSSC, while the chemis¬ try and biology courses made the gradual change to Chem-Study and BSCS, respectively. Any stu¬ dent of the department can tell you all of his time in class isn’t spent in cleaning up broken glass, treating the disaster victims, and digging frogs legs out of the drain. Actually, all of the many ap¬ proaches to the exploration of the physical world —physics, biology, chemistry, and earth science encourage the student’s inquiring mind. “No, that ' s not a frog’s brain, it’s an old piece of chewing gum.’’ Leslie Benton AB.
