The Science Department has accomplished much in the past few years. Its aims are to instill in its pupils a strong desire to learn the reasons behind both living and mechanical processes; and to satisfy this desire by capable instruction and personal aid. Mr. Choate, seated, known to all as the head of the science department and to many as an interesting and enjoyable instructor, plans new material with Mr. Richards, famous for his elaborate physics experiments, and Mr. Ames, a transfer from the math department last year. Here seen standing in front of the library, Mr. Muller, new this year, takes time off from his teaching to laugh over the latest story with Mr. Wilson, well-known for his sense of humor. Mr. Rocci, Miss Stetson and Mr. Batalis puzzle over bacteria specimens. 14 Mr. Soule greets us in the office with his familiar smile. As are all of the teachers, he is always ready to give extra help (a strong point of the science department) to his pupils. Another distinction is the wide variety of courses and the many courses available.

Mr. Kesinger and Mr. LeBlanc are enjoying a chat over their lunch. Sometime between the hours of 11:00 and 12:31 most teachers can be seen dashing in and out of this room for a rushed lunch and then back to their classes. Mr. Schutt asks Mr. Koetke to explain some of the facts concerning his new computer course which has been added this year to the math curriculum. Time out between classes for a quick chat. Mr. Baker and Mr. Rourke chuckle, perhaps at the antics of some student below in the quadrangle. Mr. Buck and Colonel Head are caught sharing a light moment with the class. Mr. Buck is teaching an H-level senior course in calculus leading to advanced placement in college. 13
