CIE CE 1961 , . . a year of achievement in all areas . . . with the scientific field in the lead. Our Science department has not neglected this fact. WVith the aid of well-informed teachers and modern labora- tory equipment, our science students are learning abut the world around them. Students of biology divide their time between laboratory work and textbooks. This program gives the students a solid foundation in their work. They can also continue to advanced biology, a very extensive course, to prepare for college. Symbols, equations, and experiments are familiar terms to Chemistry students. They study the com- position of the common things we take for granted. A yearly project is giving the students an un- known substance, and with the knowledge they have acquired, they identif this unkown. A new colle e lysic cours has been incor- porated into ou ric m thi ar. Practical ex- periments fill a ge r of NIR ysics schedule.

3 -eff ' x 3 M fd Jw. Mr. Gregory of the orchestra and Mr. Dutton of the chorus show that music really is fun. IC That music hath charm to soothe the breast of savage beast is amply made manifest with the marvelous music department at North Miami. Pro- viding stirring marches and novelties at the foot- ball games, presenting thrilling half-time shows, producing inspiring vocal and instrumental con- certs throughout the year are just the normal ac- companiment to sound teaching of music and music appreciation on the part of our three fine music teachers. Year after year our orchestra, chorus, and band bring home honors and acclaim from their com- petition with other schools in the state of Florida. They have proved that culture excels at North Miami just as physical prowess on the gridiron, court, and track. The student body at our school owes a great debt to Mr. Alexander, Chairman of the Depart- ment, Mr. Gregory, and Mr. Dutton for providing beautiful and splendid music. 38 Many honors have come to our music department under the fine and friendly leadership of Mr. Robert Alexander. ,qu 4.
