Unusual Variety Of Offerings Entice Students In The Sciences The Malhematics Department developed a lab for math students interested in doing independent work. Student; can go to the lab for extra help in an area with which they are having difficulty or play with puzzles and games designed to re-enforce basic math concepts. Mr. Hoffman formed two teams of math orientated students who did well in competition. Out of the 32 teams competing, the Jefferson teams placed ninth and nineteenth. In the Science Department one can find Follensbee’s Principle : In preparing an examination, make certain of three things; 50% of the questions must cover topics never heard of by the students; 50% of the questions should cover material the students cannot understand; and make certain the exam is at least twice as long as the class period given to write it. Unfortunately, many other teachers outside of this department seem to agree with this philosophy. When science students were not taking exams, many of them were reconstructing animal and bird skeletons, dissecting worms and even putting some down other peoples’ backs. The Social Studies Department emphasizes concepts of which every citizen should be aware. Students are encouraged to become aware of curre'nt events going on around them. They study the constitution and put their knowledge to use by participating in a mock trial. Students also explore something every successful business man or woman should know — the New York Stock Exchange! Mr. Hoffman (above) is the chairman of the Math Department.
