Rutgers University The science department aims to meet the students’ needs in regard to science in college, in industry, in so- ciety, and in everyday leisure time ac- tivities. All courses, both general and college prep, provide lavoratory peri- ods aimed to stimulate scientific curios- ity and inquiry. Laboratory work is di- rected toward the development of skills in using scientific materials and appa- ratus. Emphasis is placed on student interpretation of the results of the ex- periments. Students can further de- velop their interests and curiosities through participation in the many clubs and activities which include Biol- ogy, Ecology, Aquarium, and an an- nual Science Fair.

Al- gebra, Geometry, and other math- ematical subjects are designed to provide a foundation for the think- ing process as well as provide tools for the students to use in his search for knowledge. In our school, a variety of offer- ings are given so that the graduate will have a firm background in mathematics, and enough variety, to have a wide selection for their major field of study. In addition, the de- partment strives to develop the ba- sic fundamentals of mathematics which will help the student through- out his life. The course offering are complimented by clubs and extra curricular activities where interested students can try new problems and their solution. 28

Foreign Language The primary aim of the Foreign Language Department is to help the student attain a facility in the language being studied—the longer the study the greater the facility. The cultural mores and general civilization of the foreign land whose tongue is being studied are presented in class. The language clubs—French, Ger- man, and Spanish—try to promote for- eign language learning outside the classroom. Catherine E. Ludlow, A.M.
