,'g,ga., G. 5 K K ae., L-ff nl rli'x'lDu 'X --AI L Classification and analysis of rock formations is a project of the physical science classes. scientific research. Systematically observing, studying, and experiment- ing, Overlea students gain a solid foundation in bi- ology, chemistry, and physics. The science department gives individuals opportunity and the incentive to en- joy science. Biology is designed to awaken the student to the miracle of life through laboratory, experimentation, out door observation and research projects. The intricacies of electron configuration and the baffling molecular structures are dealt with in-chem- istry. Under the patient direction of the teacher a new world is opened for the student. Students who wish to explore the motion of planets and calculate the infinitesimal size of a molecule find that physics gives them this chance. For those wishing an applied science course there is physical science. In this class students use scientific principles to analyze everyday occurrences. MR. C. HAVEN KOLB JR.

But as he be- came more civilized he' had to develop a num- lmer system in order to have commercial and social interchange with other societies. Today our life is heavily affected by mathematics. If it were not, we Could not trade between Coun- tries, huild houses, or launch rockets. Because of the need for a basic concept of math. man has devised ways to teach it. Courses taught by the mathematics department at Overlea include studies of geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and college level calculus. They investigate the necessary definitions, theorems, and proofs which illustrate the fundamental ideas of mathematics. General math, however, is also taught to those students who wish to re- view their general math background. The ri ors of mathematics enriched MR.
