Adviser, Physics Club Science Department In our science classes, we begin to compre- hend how man has learned to control the forces of nature. We are introduced to the rudimentary theories of science. Application of the scientific method trains us to think logically, and laboratory experiments allow us to share the thrill of discovery. By carrying out individual projects, we are challenged to delve more deeply into the scientific wonders of the world. Barbara Toth and Gregg Gaynor watch Mr. White demonstrate the physical prin- ciples of parallel forces. Victor Wisner B.S. in Forestry Lana Golub, Lewis Kaden, Charlotte Golub, Valerie Magyar, and Robert Josen admire the biology projects they have made.

Mathematics Department As well as being the tool of all other sciences, mathematics is necessary in business and for ordinary activities performed count- less times every day. After acquiring basic number concepts, we learn to apply them to the solution of problems. Foundations are laid for specialization in advanced science and mathematics. By increasing our knowledge of this subject, we are better able to contribute to the progress of the modern age. Deparfmenf Head Adviser, Mafh Analysis, Senior Mathematics clubs Joseph A.
