Mrs Hdhn assists Susan Wollman in solving a trigonometry problem Supervised by Mr. )ohn Kuhar, the Math Department has instituted many revisions in the past year. Major changes have occurred in designing the General Math program into two levels, Basic Math I and II, which have been pre- viously taught in a traditional manner. This pro- gram has been taught in preparation for the working world and everyday life. Another revi- sion has been in the sequence of algebra and geometry. Algebra I, Geometry then Algebra II is the new sequence recommended. This has been done in hopes of improving the students' back- ground for taking the Scholastic Aptitude Tests and Math Achievement Tests. Computer Programming, a course reinstated into the curriculum due to renewed student interest, has providecJ the student with an opportunity to learn basic computer program- ming. Students have the use of a school com- puter which is linked to a major terminal in Asbury Park. Robert Mile hell is assessing a i omputer by phonelines using a terminal lhal slides into a computer in Asbury Rark 27

In a biology lab Mr. Layton assists Paul Goodhue in making a calorimete which measures the number of calories in different food substances. Susie Patterson concentrates on measuring the amount of substance used in a Science Research class. It is the desire of the Science Department, under the direction of Mr. Larry Seip, to instill in the science students a sense of curiosity, an awareness of scientific concepts and the pur- suance of research methods. After researching specific scientific concepts, students learn through discovery. Laboratory sessions provide students with the opportunity to test scientific theories. Collecting and organ- izing data and graphing the results, students gain a greater awareness of the concepts of sci- ence. This research is done within many facets of the department, animals are raised and observed under experimental designs, data is obtained by students who are monitored with an EKG machine for exploration in the Senior Science Research Program and plants are observed through the terrarium, a'controlled environment. A recent addition is the Laboratory Assistants Program. Individual students utilize unstruc- tured time to set up needed apparatus, prepare the solutions and offer students extra help. 29
