energy, and matter. Today ' s changing world necessitates a basic understanding of scientific principles. Paramus High ' s science department enables the student to fully understand the changes by means of various science courses. These courses include biology, chemistry, physics, and physical science. Biology, taken by a great majority of the students, helps one understand life by delving into the various functions that living organisms go through. Chemistry offers a study of elements, their characteristics, uses, and energy involved in chemical reactions. Laws and principles governing motion and action are studied by students taking physics. Chemistry, physics, and biology all have lab periods where the student performs experiments and dissections based on the information he has acquired. Advanced courses are offered for the student who has a great interest and aptitude for science. Individual research is encouraged and original projects are mandatory. In the spring, the annual science fair displays these projects. Ann Nardo I haven ' t marked your tests yet!

Music . . . The majesty Norman Allen Get off the piano. Music Theory and Harmony Music Department Chairman; Assistant Soccer Coach; Chorus A quarter note, not an eighth note, says Mr. Allen while conducting his music harmony class. Our Paramus High School Spartan Band, compe¬ tently directed by Mr. Frank Ryerson, with Mr. Robert Witte and Mr. Sol Teich assisting, can be seen and heard many a Saturday afternoon during the football season performing at half-time, as well as providing the music at all our assemblies and pep rallies. One annual activity of the group is The Record ' s Pageant of Bands held at the Teaneck Armory in No¬ vember. In keeping with the fine standard that has been set, our band has once more received high com¬ mendations from The Record , and our own Spartan cheering section. Again this year the band joined with The Concert Choir in offering a memorable Christmas Concert. Selec¬ tions from the presentation at the Band Pageant were played. In the traditional closing, the band accompanied the choir in the Hallelujah Chorus. Joining the choir once more, the band played in the annual Spring Concert, another major school activity. For its final offering of the year, the band assisted in the graduation ceremonies, an annual tradition. 30 Remember the round pear-shaped tones. The P.H.S. chorus during an assembly.
