S. Yuhas, R. Trebowski, H. Daitz, and R. Spevack admire the ma+h exhibit. cJlocjical thin k Day in and day out, we have reason to be grateful for the thorough grounding we re- ceive in mathematics in the high school. In our everyday math classes, we learn the arith- metic processes used in everything from mar- keting to manufacturing, from budgeting to building. The study of higher mathematics teaches us to cultivate habits of accuracy and logical thinking; it prepares us to undertake advanced work in technical fields. In all, our courses are geared to help us keep in step with our fast-moving world. A. Estok. R. Chojnacki, D. Gtadis, L. Hagen on location for a Mathematics Department project. Leah Kirshner, B.S.Ed.

Adviser Assembly Program Planning Committee The American spirit of neighborliness pervades our language classes. Reading in the foreign tongue, we come to know other nations and their peoples, to share their joys and sorrows. Films and slides give us glimpses of the everyday life and the cus- toms of other countries. As we learn to speak their language, or to sing their songs, as we discover depths of beauty in their art, we feel a close kinship to these people and gain a broader concept of their contributions to our culture.

leadt S to true values. In science our inquiring minds find wide fields to explore. General Science gives us a preview of mysteries to be fathomed. Bi- ology leads us into the study of living things; physics explains the iaws of the inanimate; and chemistry brings us knowledge of the elements that make up our universe. We gain practical experience in the lab and in working out projects. Understanding the hows and whys of our physical and material world will lead us to search for the answers to the less tangible questions of peace, prosperity, and progress. Roland W. Tapley, M.Ed. Department Head Adviser, Chemistry Club Francis W. Kenny of the Perth Amboy Fire Department shows a General Science class how to handle a fire extinguisher. B. Panels, W. Holup, and L. Christodoulou, cook up something in the lab. f Ambrose E. Dvorschalc, M.Ed. Adviser, Biology Club
