Sometimes we have a tendency to think of science as primarily a record of man ' s accomplishments. As with any aspect of history, this record is, of course, important. Its major value lies in the use that we can make of it to improve man ' s thought and action in the future. ' Science as a school subject should be far more than description and history. It is a way of thinking and acting, in and out of school. Hence, science has become one of the most important studies offered in our high school curriculum. Our capable science department helps qualify students for scientific vocations by transmitting the cultural heritage and encouraging youth to enrich and refine this heritage. Several branches of science are offered which include general science for freshmen, biology for sophomores, chemistry for juniors, and physics for seniors. In addition to the regular courses, accelerated ones are offered to students of greater interest or ability. A physical science course is also offered to juniors and seniors who have not completed the require¬ ment for one year of science in their high school career.

Bon our, Monsieur. Laura) Bogyo greets Lloyd Greenly in Mile. Filippone ' s first year French class. Forty-five minutes a day can be spent in the country of your choice... Instruction in five languages is offered by the Foreign Language Department. One of the most popular languages, Spanish, has a varied and interesting program. Third year students com¬ piled a scrapbook of the school and community life which was sent to Mexico through a Red Cross program. In return they received a book from a Spanish-speaking country. After reading Don Quixofe in their third year, students went to see the movie in New York. Fourth year students corresponded with pen pals from Ecuador and Spain. Students are introduced to the vast world of French literature by reading many short stories. In the third year emphasis is placed upon litera¬ ture contained in an anthology giving a short excerpt from the major writers of each era. In the fourth year an anthology of French literature is studied covering one entire work of each school of literature. In the Italian Department emphasis is placed upon the cultural value of the language through conversation, reading, and writing. Stories are read and students may illustrate them. Students are also given the opportunity to write an original story in Italian. Plays and novels are included in their outside reading to acquaint them with modern Italian literature. 7 Antoinette Arencibia Spanish I and II Student Government Civics Committee.
