ENGLISH DEPARTMENT “It’s too wordy!” The English Department has the honor of being one of sev- en English Departments in the country involved in the Edu- cation Through Vision Program. In this program, students are taught to be more aware and more appreciative of their surroundings. In recent years the entire four year curriculum has been re- vised, providing opportunities to study American, English, and World Literature, and Speech. English is an important part of the entire curriculum be- cause writing and speaking are involved in each subject, and the department tries to give the student the best possible background. “Why?” “You mean it’s tea time already?”

There is always something brewing in the science depart- ment labs. Anything from the preparing of hydrogen to the di- secting of cats goes on. From the basic electricity labs may come the shaking results of success, and from Mr. Haney’s Chemis- try II labs may come anything up to tomorrow’s nuclear weap- ons. Sometimes in approaching the C-5 area, you can very easily “sense” that the scientists of to- morrow are hard at work. Once a year the seniors visit the Museum of Science. The courses offered by the Science Department are: Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry I and II, Physics, Anatomy, Senior Science, and Basic Electricity. “What do you mean you’ve concluded the an- gle of incidence doesn’t equal the angle of reflection!?” “Aah-a-ah — we see you Mr. Sirois!” 18
