Mr. Ball + Mr. Gerlach + Mrs. Giacomo + Mr. Klingensmith -Y a science depart- ment Which is a catalyst to all Le Roy students. They are deeply interested in help- ing students to gain as much knowledge in their particular field of science as possi- ble. The junior high students were introduced to science with biologically and physically oriented classes. The ninth grade general science course covered the phys- ical and chemical sciences as a preparation for advanced study. Earth Science, as the name implies, involved the study of all naturally occurring phenomena. Biology in- troduced students to life 's functions, from unicellular to multicellular organisms. Chemistry was the science concerned with matterg the changes it underwent and the laws governing those changes. Physics dealt with matter and the transformation of matter and energy.

It is found through the earliest known records ol' ancient history that man, in his everyday life, made use of the idea of the number. An extraordi- nary amount of mathematical calcu- lations was needed forthe construction ofthe pyramids and other architectur- al achievements. At first, their symbols were simple and few, but as man progressed so did his knowledge of numbers. Man devel- oped a crude manner ol' counting which slowly advanced into what is now a highly developed mathematical system. The Mathematics Department pro- vided a broad curriculum in order to develop the students' skills one-step-at a-time. lt began with junior high Gen- eral Math and progressed each year to Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry and Math 12.

Multi Program A Multi Prograin was established lor the seventh and eighth graders, giving them an opportunity to at- tend the inulti-occupational pro- grnni at l5.0.C.li.S. beginning in the ninth grade. The students partici- pated in the program part of the day and spent the rest of their time interacting with their entire grade level. Mr. Thomas Norczyk, a reading specialist, instructed them in vocab- ulary and sentence structure, and the development of their reading skills. Mrs. Caroline Morse, Mrs. Joan Kelly, and Mrs. Sharon Collins, all new to the system. taught Social Studies, Mathematics, and Science respectively. All the subjects were taught in a manner which interrelated, so as to give the students a deeper under- standing of the program as a whole.

There will never be another Si. lt is essential that everyone learn proper driving habits before they can be- come a cautious and skillful driver. The objective of the Driver Education course is not only to give students first hand experience in both automatic and stan- dard drive, but also to lower insurance rates and age requirements of night driving, Students are required to attend after school instruction in order to obtain a blue card g at this time insurance men, state police, and auto mechanics are invited to give students a better idea of the responsibilities of owning a car and acquaint them with the function of its parts. Driving instruction is given during regularly scheduled study halls, and is divided into two separate semesters.
