SCIENCE 24 MR. CATALDO DEPARTME NT HEAD MR. LILLEY MR. MANESS MR. NORWOOD MRS. STEELE MR. WYMER “If I pull this rubber band like this, have I increased its potential energy? You say yes? Would you like to prove it? You say no? Why do you say no? Because it will hurt you. Right? Right!” This was one of the many tactics used in the Science Department this year to improve student understanding. Under the supervision of department head Mr. Catal- do, science teachers taught everything from Earth Science to AP Chemistry, a course de¬ signed for seniors who wanted to get a head start on their college credits. As all science students will agree, it was a very interesting year! Mr. Cataldo’s drink mixing class. Mr. Conrad in his biology lab. faculty

Miss Roberts expounding on government. The Social Studies Department expanded this year by using new methods of teaching. It wasn’t unusual to see a Constitutional Convention or a Continental Congress in session in a U.S. History Class. The department also offered World History and Government to freshmen and seniors respec¬ tively. Under the direction of department head Miss Roberts, teachers were encouraged to let students think and express themselves freely in the Social Studies Classroom.

Mr. Whoolery took over as department chairman, and also took over the two Calculus classes. Between Mr. Whoolery and Mr. Davis, no perplexing Greek symbol escaped the studies of ambitious Func¬ tions and Calculus.
