Lanzalotto, offers a comprehensive choice of courses in the behavioral sciences as well as in American history. These include psychology, economics, political science, world government, sociology, and geography. In the two year American history course the first year traces the rise of the American colonies to the Civil War. In the second year great stress is placed on the Civil War and the course concludes with a study of contemporary times with emphasis on current events. Besides the standard practices of textbooks, maps, lectures, and blackboards, several supplementary means of study are used to enhance the various courses. Among these are seminars, discussions, films, recordings, and research papers which help to provide the students with the necessary knowledge and understanding of mankind’s struggle for liberty and justice for all.

Science Sanford Schepps Chemistry Science Department Chairman Victor Amendolara Biology Arthur Anderson Biology Chemistry With all the emphasis today being placed on the rapid advancements made in the field of technology, it is no wonder that our Science department, with Mr. S. Schepps as chairman, should be concerned with expanding its facilities in order to provide the students with a solid foundation in the major sciences. There is a lab science course for each year of high school. In the tenth grade the subject is biology which is the study of the origin, history, and characteristics of plants and animals. In connection with the study of botany, the comparatively new conservatory helps students in their study of first hand experiences. In the eleventh year, chemistry is next in line. This disci¬ pline offers the principal theories of matter and the elements, coupled with the writing of a report based on experiments conducted in the lab. On the senior level, the physics course deals with such natural phenomena as matter, time, space, light, motion, and the nature of electrical forces and energy. One of the most important features of the science pro¬ gram is the annual Science Fair, held in May to acquaint students and parents with a wide variety of scientific projects and techniques.
