The expansion of Independent Study in Chemistry is being offered ., seven periods a day and is under the direction of Mr. Lighty and Mr. Guthrie. Independent Study' is where a student listens to class lec- tures and does experiments some days, while on other days he studies independently on the assigned concepts. The student then takes the test within a certain length of time and has several chances to repeat the test, if he doesn't pass the first time. The science department offers such courses as: biology, chemistry, physiology, and physics. Mr. Woodward Johnson is the head of the science department. There are many opportunities for students to act as lab assistants. Mr. Higgins returned this year after being on sabbatical, during which he studied and traveled.
