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.

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.

 J{now(eclqe of the padt h u5 huifcl for the future. Ray Newman leads a discussion in an American History class. Our studies in social science made us realize that we must be active, intelligent contributors to the life of our community and our country. Ancient, modern, and world history gave perspective; American history brought into clear focus the principles and ideals by which we live. Our classes were vitalized by showing of films and by lively discussions of current events. Above all, we learned to respect the obligations imposed upon us as citizens of a free nation, and to treasure the privileges which we shall enioy as future molders of our democracy. Howard E.
