The larger percent- age of students selecting math and science courses shows that MHS students are keeping step with prog- ress. Math and science programs are also advancing. Last year’s PSSC physics class was so successful that all the classes are being taught according to the recommenda- tions of the Physical Science Study Committee. Math teachers are trying a new experiment with honors classes on a college level. Two new math teachers and a science teacher are welcome additions to faculty members trying to pre- pare MHS students to take their place in the modern world. Significant Advancements, Events Brought Delving into the exciting field of light measurement, science teachers Darrell Goar and Paul Holm still f ind time to enjoy ordinary comforts such as a cup of hot coffee and a familiar pipe while they adjust their apparatus.

A three-year foreign language program is being planned for next fall, thus encouraging students to concentrate on one particular language. The foreign language lab adds a stimulating divergence to the regular routine. FERN SLUSHER RUTH VERTREES Latin ESTHER STEFFEN English JCL, FT A Latin D.E.
