Gosh, my hands are shaking! An Earth Science student finds an experiment nerve- wracking. The intensity equals 1! r . PSSC Physics students leam primarily by experiments. Our science has continued to push back the frontiers of knowl- edge that exists in the mind of the high school student. Under the able Colonel Koehler the de- partment has improved its tradi- tional courses and continued the new approach courses that were introduced last year. Each part of the science de- partment offers the student a challenge in one of the sciences that are so greatly influencing the present and the future.

Square roots aren't really hard-if you think. Algebra ig always interesting??? Twenty paces after the skull in the tree, tum left and start digging. Veriecl Meth Department 1962-63 has been the year of the new mathf, The School Mathematics Study Group, long for SMSG, has produced a set of paperback texts containing a modernized approach to mathematics. The new courses are Introductory Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, Geometry, Functions and Matrices. The students agree that the approach is radically new, with many claiming courses have become harder. Many are hav- ing to work a little harder to learn a lot more. The tradi- tional courses have not been completely discontinued, trig students still struggle with idenities, but their demise is as sure as a funtion maps a domain onto a range.

Now, I tell you it ought to be done this way. Mrs. Kelt- ner's famous Speech class. To communicate effectively, concisely, and clearly is to know one's language thoroughly. The task of teaching the fundamentals and ad- vanced techniques of the English language to the student is the iob of the English Department. This department seeks to make each student a literate and useful person by stressing the me- chanics of writing, by encouraging creative thought, and by urging extensive reading. Thus, the student is able to correctly put down on pa- per his ideas, to contribute a little of himself to his society, to widen his outlook, and to increase his knowledge. Emphasis in these three areas constitutes the work, energy, and time of the English Department.
