Q-fb 5 Six Year Science Marshall's science department taught its students by using the six year science program. Students progressed from the junior high general science program to senior high biology, physics and chemis- try courses. Latest findings in the fields ol' science were incorporated into the new physics, biology and chemistry hooks. Vlihen asked of their addition, Mr. Robert Sweeney said he was able to ease up on lectures and let the students learn more through reading and self-studying. lt generally agreed the new volumes de- creased the amount of research done outside of school. More advancements in all fields of science required the student to work and understand more. From worms to hydrogen molecules Marshall's science students laid down the basic laws of nature and a basis for further study. The science program was rated most popular among students.

Learn Independently Nlr. btuart l.ove and Xhss l,eona llansen liked using the new overhead projeetion maehine. They found it easier to eommunieate with the students and therefore hold their attention. Hy writing on the maehine with the work projeeted hehind, they were alnle to faee the 1-lass eontinually. Yarious prepared rolls eould he used to explain hasie mathemat- it-al rules. This Saved on time and writing. Senior high teaehers eneouraged their students to learn on a more independent hasis. Nlr. tleorge Patten and Nlr. tleorge Keprios voieed the opinion that learning hy diseovering for yourself with the minimum amount of help, proved to he effeetive. By diseovering various eon- eepts hy themselves the students heeame more aware ol' the vital processes.
