Erudite Ecologists Sanford Schepps Chemistry Science Department Chairman Ideas” Victor J. Amendolara Biology Audio-Visual Aids Club Our Science department is as expansive as the multitude of animals, vegetables, and minerals it encompasses. Amid the perpetual smell of formaldehyde and sore eyes from peering through microscopes, we enter the first lab science course . . . biology, the study of the origin, history, characteristics and habits of plants and animals. Our next science world is full of chemicals and test tubes . . . chemistry, offering the principal theories of matter and elements. Following chemistry, the physics course deals with matter, time, space, light, motion, and the nature of electrical forces and energy. General and specific courses and thought-provoking activities such as these give our students a working knowledge of all the sciences so necessary in the progressive study of today’s New Frontier.” Ideas” is the new science publication, dealing with scientific ideas and philosophy. Most articles are contributed by the advanced science students and the magazine is published by the students. In May the annual science Fair is held, to acquaint students and parents with scientific projects and techniques.
