KP students find their necessary guides in the schoolis proficient and under- standing faculty members. Beginning at freshman year and continuing into senior year, students may select their studies from a variety of science and mathematics courses. General science, biology, physics, and chemistry ex- plore relationships between plants and animals, the basic properties of cells, atomic energy, nuclear fis- sion, radioactivity, and other fascinating topics. Once students have learned how to track down that elusive X in algebra, they may go on to advanced classes: geometry, advanced algebra, and trigonom- etry. The school's annual Science Fair gives the students opportunities to exhibit their work and acquired knowl- edge in both science and mathematics. And the many rewards they win brings them just satisfaction. - . r tj, xxx , , ,, -M it AQ K 5 x .

Practical Arts and Business Upen IRENE NAGATANI prepares cookie batter. In the area of applied arts, Kelvyn Park provides for students interested in industrial arts and home econom- ics. The academic work in both fields prepares stu- dents for a variety of careers. Courses in foods and clothing give the girls the necessary know-how in managing a home. Faced with the tasks of. running their own homes some day, these girls will be able to do the job with ease. For the boys, courses in industrial arts, mechanical drawing, printing, and woodshop can mean a reliable job in the future. And learning to work with wood, metal, and plastic while in school is also one way for boys to start a useful hobby. Future jobs are also in the minds of students who sign up for commercial courses. This department of- fers one of the largest selections of courses in the school: typing, shorthand, office practice, business training, bookkeeping, economics, and commercial law. Distributive education classes which were started in the school two years ago have become quite popular. Students enrolled in the class have the opportunity to learn the workings of various businesses in class and then put these things into use when they report to their jobs in the afternoon. ENGROSSED IN THEIR WORK, office practice students Genie Pool, Pam Bandurski, and Vita Abbinante strive for perfection. ADRIAN CHAPMAN sets type in printshop. BOB BARTZ solves drafting problem.
