Science Department Cultivates In the current technical age, science has become the framework for the ladder of educa- Bob Silar, Marianne Steiner, and Audrey Long prepare materials for a chemistry experiment. tion. In keeping with this fact, the science de- partment specializes in an attempt to make every student scientifically well -informed. Whether or not they intend to enter college, all students are required to complete courses in general science and biology. The former is simply a brief study of all the sciences, includ- ing astronomy, meteorology, geology, and anat- omyg the latter is a more specific course in all the phases of plant and animal life. These in turn provide a pathway for those Academic students who specialize in more complex sciences of chemistry and physics. Barbara Eckman, Janet Hanna, Linda Eshleman, Virginia Embly, and Burnell Andrews work on a science experiment.

Technical Ability of Students Chemistry students are taught the rules govern- ing elements and compounds. The integral part of this course is the performing of experiments. These give students the opportunity of putting acquired classroom knowledge to practical use. Physics, an elective offered to Seniors in the Academic course, deals with the laws governing matter and energy. Physics students are also given the opportunity of working in the laboratory two hours weekly. Two years of physical science are offered to students who do not plan to further their formal education. The first year gives the students a broader knowledge of the general sciences, and the second presents a simplified version of the principles ofphysics anda taste of practical chem- istry. Mr. Raymond explains a physics principle to Barry Weaver, Harold Sangrey, and Albert Smoker. Robert Shaub, Barry Wilson, Mr Deppcller and Peggy Grim ex- amine biology materials.
