In a school system, the iob becomes specialized and takes on a definite form. General science affords for students a basic founda- tion for learning. Another fundamental science, Earth and Space, was made more interesting with the pur- chase of a planetarium. It allows students to view the solar system. Biology, taught in tenth grade, explains the func- tions of organisms. This year, a new program, known as the B.S.C.S., deals with the discoveries found through experimentation. Physics illustrates basic concepts of matter and energy. It delves into such things as Einstein's theory and the laws of gravity. Chemistry, studied in the senior year, explains to students the composition of matter. Combined with daily studies in the text book, laboratory work is conducted twice a week. The field of the sciences is the most intriguing part of the interested student's academic years. To hear and understand, to see and comprehend, to experi- ment and succeed, all of these are primary goals set by the sciences. CHEMISTRY EXPERIMENT is conducted by Chuck Scott in safety of the fume hood. 19

These technological advances are abruptly chang- 1 ing our world so the mathematics department prepares stu- dents to understand these changes. Al ebra I and II provide o foundation for college-bound students in higher mathematics. College Algebra and Trigonometry introduces new con- cepts to be used with the old. Plane and solid geometry acquaints students with the various shapes in space. Pre-calculus is a course designed for the advanced student preparing for college. It is planned that calculus will be taught in the near future.

Not only does the teacher explain the racial problem, but he asks for reasonable answers for facing the crisis. Not only does he ask who is responsible for paying taxes, but he tells why the taxpayer carries these responsibilities. Not only does he convey many other figures and facts, but he relates them to the iob of life- living. Through the courses connected with social studies, the teacher accomplishes his goals and guides his students into the future. 3. 20 Past Misa Anno Paterson 7lh Grads Early World History , s s 'J ' x .k ,4.-. -5 qs.
