Science The science department offers to all students the opportunity of enriching their knowledge of practical and ad- vanced science. In addition to the three basic sciences, biology, chemistry, and physics, there are honor courses offered to those students who desire a chance to pursue their interest further. Each science course has been designed to provide the student with a basic, prac- tical understanding of science. Labs are held once a week in each sub- ject. These labs enable the students to investigate each science in greater depth. LUCIAN J. WNUKOWSKI, B.S.

Foreign Languages The language department of Sayreville High offers three foreign languages. Stu- dents may take a beginning course in French, Latin or Spanish. In these courses the students are introduced to the culture of the people they are study- ing as well as the fundamentals of the language itself. The second year of a foreign language comprises more de- tailed study of grammar and conversa- tion, and the student speaks and compre- hends the language when it is spoken. Advanced courses in Spanish and French are offered. Here conversation is stressed to enable the student to become profi- cient in his use of the language as well as in the study of the literature of these people. HELEN PFEIFFER, M.Ed.

Mathematics The mathematics department strives to engender a basic understanding of mathematics so that the students may apply this knowledge to everyday prob- lems. There are many courses offered in general mathematics which introduce the student to mathematics, such as Al- gebra I, Algebra II, and Plane Geom- etry. In addition, various advanced courses such as Trigonometry, Ad- vanced Mathematics, and Modern Al- gebra, are provided for those who de- sire a more thorough understanding of the science and intend to further their study of mathematics. Emphasis is also placed on the need for commercial and shop students to take mathematics for its usefulness in practical problems. Basic Mathematics, Business Arithmetic, and Applied Math- ematics courses have been instituted for this purpose. JAMES B.
