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.

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.

George Washington Besides providing aching muscles and a chance to try out those crazy Royal Canadian Air Force excercises, the phys¬ ical education program at Stuart creates an interest in safe driving practices and the practical applications of first aid. Other activities sponsored by the depart¬ ment include the Fall and Spring Sports Banquets to honor our top atheletes, the hilarious Faculty Follies, and the lively Faculty vs. Varsity basketball games, held at various times during the year. The proceeds from the events go for uniforms and gym and health equipment. Mr. Zaleski and Mr. Irwin in study hall scene.
