The curriculum in the science depart- ment is chosen to give the student a wide sampling of many scientific disciplines. In ninth grade, every student is required to take physical science, a basic survey course. In succeeding grades, he can elect to take biology, chemistry, and physics. Each of these courses gives basic information and includes experimental work in the laborato- ry. BSCS and Chem Study are also offered for the above-average science student. Right: Mr. Swinglish oversees an experiment being car- ried out in freshman science by Scott Harpster and George Downey. Below: We know that Mr. Graham is occasionally absent-minded, but why is he pointing to a blank screen? Maybe he sees something we don’t! 22

Social Studies Department Row 1: Mrs. Demuth and Miss Huddle. Row 2: Mr. George, Mr. Dailey, Mr. P.larski, and Mr. Butler. Absent when picture was taken: Mr. Wey- gandt. Courses in the social studies department are de- signed to prepare the stu- dent for useful living beyond high school. American history, world history, civics, and eco- nomics teach him to be a knowledgeable American and world citizen through understanding of the past, present, and future of the system under which he lives. Psychology, sociolo- gy, and health teach him to understand and appre- ciate himself and others. All eyes are on Mrs. Demuth as she leads a class discussion in American history. 21
