Initiative on the part of students is urged in arriving at answers through prescribed procedure in Chemistry ex- perimentation. Workbooks in Chemistry are used to outline correct procedure in develop- ing chomistry experiments, prescribed by the instructor and the text book. Chemistry, Mathematics Stressed Chemistry is open to juniors and seniors on the high school level. In the fall of the current school year. about two hundred students entered courses in high school Chemistry. Some enroll in Chemistry because of specific professional or vocational pursuits: others wish to study in this science to broaden their understanding and appreciation of natural phe- nomenon. Dr. Lee A. DuBridge, President of the California Institute of Technology has said, There is more to science than its practical urgency . . . as discovering the beauty of a piece of music can give one pleasure, so discovering for oneself the harmonies of nature can give intense enjoyment. fi Students learn the correct procedure for the use of the balances in order to measure ac- Individual attention in at chemical experiment is given to Shirley Ballak by Mr. Kline.

in Science Crash Program The Mathematics department has a wide range of offerings. One year of mathematics is required for graduation. Although some college-bound stu- dents terminate their high school mathematics after Geometry, the doors to many colleges are closed, if no other high school mathematics courses are taken. The students in the X class program have a more rigorous course throughout the four years. For example, Plane and Solid Geometry are covered in two semesters, thus allowing time for Analytic Geometry later in high school. In addi- tion they are able to learn to use a slide rule, partial fractions, and infinite series. Y X 31 'Y 0 fl ff Xl. Verbal interpretation of the example problems used in the text is nomlal procedure in TRICONOMETRY. Mr. May is outlining the day's work prior to a student work session. Wllile one of his students presents an individual interpretation of a proh- lem at the blackboard, Mr. Esworthy curately the weight of compounds to the fourth decimal place. Mechanical apparatus is utilized in SOLID GEOMETRY to allow visual perception of angles and shapes. Mr. Kohl presents an explanation of a geometrical shape by means of specially constructed props. keeps a close check on the procedure.
