Laboratory Experimentation Gives Profession; Florence K. Parker Boston University—B.S. Susan Pescatore Emmanuel College—A.B. Howard W. Milke Johns Hopkins University—B.E. Worcester Polytechnic—M.N.S. Junior Class Financial Adviser Robert W. Perry Worcester Polytech—B.S.; Columbia U.—M.A. Senior Class Master Curriculum Co-ordinator One of the most striking additions to the High School this year was the new Physical Science Lab, a double room on the third floor which housed both a classroom and a lab, and which could accommodate thirty students. It was the first of our labs to be equipped with the three essential units: electricity, gas and water. The lab was constructed so that six classes could learn the basic principles of science through experimentation similar to that performed by scientists. A new trend was also introduced in the Biology courses. Traditional memorization of facts and names was reduced to a minimum, and the understanding of concepts received the stress in the course. A new text. High School Biology, a product of many biologists and teachers, furthered the aims of the course. The book was accompanied by a manual containing laboratory and field experiments, showing the .importance of experimentation and inquiry in this new program. The Meteorology classes maintained weather flags and other equipment on the roof of the school, and other projects have been continued in an effort to acquaint the students of the courses with the workings of science. To accomplish these ends, Mr. Robert W. Perry, Head of the department, stated that the major goal of his department was to allow the greatest number of students access to the several labs any afternoon. Elliott R.

Our commercial course included two departments Stenography-Typing and Bookkeeping-Accounting Through the Vocational Act of 1963, the Stenography-Typing Department has purchased an electric shorthand system, which enabled the students to learn at their own speeds. The latest Gregg Shorthand system, Diamond Jubilee, was also introduced. In ordci to maintain student interest, the Bookkeeping-Accounting Department changed the system from a three-year course to Bookkeeping 1 and 2 in the Junior and Senior years. New machinery included the Gestctncr, a mimeograph machine; a Master Maker; and a new Astro-dil duplicating machine. Claire DeVito Salem State College—B.S.Ed.
