Science ... SANFORD SCHEPPS Chemistry Science Department Chairman By familiarizing students with complex scientific concepts, our science department, headed by Mrs. S. Schepps, aims to prepare students to live in an increasingly technological world. It seeks to develop in students a scientific understanding, relating to issues of science that have decided social impact. Generally, students follow the sequence of Biology, Chemistry, and then Physics. For the true science student, these same courses are offered on an accelerated level, while a less complicated version of Biology and a Physical Science course are given to those who have a general interest in science. Throughout these programs, laboratory experimentation and creativity are emphasized. Now, if it will just let go of my hand . . .” Mr. A. Anderson prepares for a biology lab.

Mathematics DANIEL JANKELUNAS Advanced Algebra Calculus Mathematics Department Chairman That’s odd, I thought this would work out right!” Mr. D. Janke- lunas attempts to solve a difficult problem in one of his math classes. Within the limited time available, our Mathematics Department, under the tutelage of Mr. D. Jankelunas, att empts to give students maximum exposure to the various facets of mathematics. Commencing with Algebra I, offered at the junior high school level, the students progress to Geometry, more Algebra, and later Trigonometry. For more advanced students, the program includes exposure to calculus, while presenting algebra, geometry, and trigonometry in greater depth and at a faster rate. Those students who are oriented in a non-mathematical direction can take courses in General Mathematics, Business Mathematics, Shop Mathematics, or Arithmetic. Further diversity is given to the department by its two electives, offered this year for the first time — Probability and Statistics, and Trigonometry, both half-year courses. By developing the students’ competence with the basic skills of mathematics and stressing its relationship with other disciplines, the mathematics depart¬ ment hopes to prepare students for the application of mathematics to almost every vocation.
