ISXACTIVITIES New Innovations Promote Science In a world filled with technology, science is of the utmost importance. Since two years of science are required for graduation, most students enroll in general physical sci- ence as freshmen then take biology as sophomores. By omitting CPS, it is possible for freshmen to take biology and continue with chemistry. This offers upperclassmen the opportunity to further their study by taking Chemistry Ill-IV, physics, or Biology Ill-IV. Accurate equipment, skilled instructors, and precise information stimulate inter- est in science. Top Right: EASY DOES IT. Kathy Cornel- ius takes a blood test with Lydia Hester in advanced biology.

Foreign Languages and English Departments Offer Old With New This year the foreign language department is offering a multitude of new courses. Everything is being offered from learning how to run a business in France to comparing the cultures of different countries. The new courses provide a welcome change in the previ- ous curriculum and bring new ideas to an otherwise traditional department. Writing compositions, term themes, and memorizing Friends, Romans, Countrymen is still very much a part of the English department at Paschal. Along with literature, teachers still stress the importance of gram- mar in their classes. Even though most of the material covered in English is standard, teachers are continu- ally updating their methods. Top Right: Mrs. Taylor serenades her class with a medley of German folksongs.
