Teachers in the department are aware of the importance of computer technology and its applicability to related fields As a result Ms. Ryerson talready trained in computer sciencej and Mrs. Feuchtinger ta quick studyl involved themselves in this rapidly we stew stash BUCK S CI E N C E developing area. Student interest in learning computer language, and gaining hands on experience, was high on their list of priorities. Science is one of the few academic courses which does not need to follow sequence. Students could select Biology 1-2, Chemistry 1-2, or Physics 1-2 in any year. With SB813 requirements in Science and Math increased, it has become evident this year that soon another course will be added to expand the department, affording students the opportunity to fulfill the new state requirements. An example of our Science departments outstanding program this year was the capturing of the Bausch 8t Lomb Award for Math and Science by senior Rizal Lopez. l X Qmellano -4 gffxt anne eat Denise D stev 9 Uitu 87

BUSINESS ED. Booming le- Hammering For Help! he Business Education department has been fortunate to get equipment each year from the Federal Vocational Education Act CVEAJ Funds. As a result of the funding, we now have two rooms with electric typewriters, and this year marked our second with a computer laboratory available for the use of the Computer Sciences and Advanced Accounting classes. ln the Office Procedures Laboratory we also have electronic memory typewriters, correcting typewriters, a Compugraphic computer typesetter, calculators, transcribing machines, and other modern office equipment, which have ushered the Business Dept. into the computer age. Best of all, we had a good group of interested business students and teachers. l ll the Industrial Arts classes suffered cut backs this year. Last year, five woodshop classes were offered -this year, only four. Skill levels were combined, making teaching quite difficult at times. Industrial Arts classes r were not offered in the afternoon and were this put in the position of competing with academic required courses. As a result, enrollment suffered, students were denied, and the program was hurt. The Industrial Arts Dept. sees it role here at Burroughs as one of providing an opportunity to explore potential in vocational areas. Let us look to the future, hoping that this valuable program will continue forward in spite of difficult times. l DQYXG er Uffw anx K gr8Q Maureen .iafi ROUGH D CYXYXUQGY 88 Sheila Feu Prichard kathleen fir' - F r elif eld 6300
