SCIENCE BROADEN FOR US ' Keep your eyes on that finger! Science is as small as an atom and as large as the uni- verse. It is as close as the air we breathe and as far as the most distant star. An investigation of science is a probe of life, and it supplies an opportunity for greater understand- ing of its facets. Only through experimentation and a study of the records of established findings can we derive the benefit of scien- tific knowledge. At Jonathan Dayton, standard, as well as advanced, courses in the fields of Biology, Chemistry and Physics are offered. Geared to prepare the interested stu- dent, these courses stress individual attempts and research experimentation and individual projects. They provide the basis for proving and understanding fundamental scientific theories and facts, and the incentive for further study. Tomorrow ' s scientific advancements, which will very likely determine our future existence, are to originate in the minds of today ' s students. Not each of us is capable of being an Einstein, but we can learn from his accomplish- ments and his diligence. . rv yrri —mm WALTER HOHN, D.C. R. Scott, M. Parrish, W. Hohn, M. Morgan, C. Sinko.

THE REALMS OF MATH AND • e £i SEATED: W. Lopardo, M. Kleissler, T. Doherty, S. Bialecki. STANDING: J. Palfi, T. Baker, W. Jones, L. Piccollo. MISSING: D. Wayne. JOSEPH SOTT, D.C. An understanding of mathematics is a vital as well as fascinating requirement in today ' s world. The days when a farmer ' s son could get along with knowing only enough math to be able to count the chicken ' s eggs are gone forever. Fortunately Jonathan Dayton has a very competent faculty in this field, which is one of rapidly increasing significance. General and Business Math, as well as Al- gebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry are offered. In or- der to satiate the appetites of curious seniors, and fur- ther those of particularly eager ones, a Math Analysis course is made available. Our expanding math program, including the introduc- tion of the School Mathematics Study Group technique indicates the essentiality of modern math. Two plus two will always equal four, but this alone will not laiinrh a rnrkot ' Any suggestions on how to do this one?

SOCIAL STUDIES GIVE LIFE J J 1 ■ ft D. Fox, C. Mason, G. Sachsel, R. Yanchus. MISSING: D. Carl, J. Cusumano, A. Gonnella, E. Jasin- ski, P. Karish, S. Pantini, M. Shereshewsky. PAULINE KEITH, D.C. History is not just a series of dates, it is a record of people living, experiment- ing, and learning to profit from the experience they gain in order to construct a better world for themselves. The explanation and understanding of these people and their contributions is the main concern of the Social Studies Depart- ment. Through such courses as Modern European History, History of the Far East, Development of Western Thought, Economics, United States History, Psy- chology, and Sociology we are able to learn of the history and culture of the world ' s diverse peoples, whose ideas and actions greatly influence ours. If we are able to say, I know the past, then we may rightly say, I know some- thing of the future, for a knowledge of the past prepares one to profit from man ' s past errors and to derive experience from his folly. Learning to understand and interpret man ' s actions in the past and in modern times presents the main challenge to the student. Fulfilling these demands, he is more competent and better prepared to live a fuller, more beneficial life.
