National committees have developed new ways of presenting science to high school students. Better text books have been written, films made and new equipment developed. The modern science courses are characterized by emphasis on laboratory work as the basis for learning; understanding concepts rather than memorization is the goal. Many experiments which the students do are quantitative and lead to the development of a principle. Through the science department, students attain a more sound preparation for college, better understand their environment and have their natural interests in the sciences satisfied. 20 m

It is a unifying factor throughout the world — different from all other forms of expression. Through the Music Department, every student has the oppor- tunity to further understand and enjoy music ranging from the ageless classical to the folk-rock of today. Vocally, instrumentally and theoreti- cally, music is presented double forte — making the most of every note.
