Few of us are aware that Mr. Grosmark has a special talent for ESP and enjoys commu- nicating with departed scien- tists. Department Chairman. Science has assumed an increasingly significant role in contemporary society. With the advent of manned space flights and the discovery of cures for some of the world’s major diseases, man has become more aware of how science can serve him. Schreiber’s sci- ence department is expanding both in curriculum and in physical facilities to cope with this increased em- phasis on the sciences. At present there are four major areas in which a student may pursue a particular interest: earth sci- ence, physics, chemistry, and biology. Advanced place- ment courses in physics and chemistry, plus experi- mental courses in biology, chemistry, and physics make the Schreiber science department one of the most formidable in the state. As the new science wing nears completion, Port students eagerly anticipate an even more interesting program to be offered by our fine science department. Mrs. Graham readies her lab equipment for another class day. Edmund Hafner, M.A.T. The sea-loving Mr. Hafner, fisherman and water skier, spent last summer as a waiter on Nantucket Island. 26

Spanish Club Advisor. Wright Booth, B.A. Mr. Booth’s favorite pastime is traveling to Spanish-speak- ing countries to collect irregu- lar and defective verbs. Martin Brown, B.A. When Mr. Brown isn’t coach- ing the junior class basketball team, he is playing the piano, trombone, or accordian. Junior Class Advisor. Paul Garcia, B.A. In addition to college teaching and tennis playing, Mr. Garcia occasionally works as a theater manager and keeps in step with the film industry. The goal of the language department this year has been to give the Schreiber student a broad back- ground in the foreign language of his choice. An extra-curricular course in Russian was added to the present programs in French, Spanish, German, and Latin to provide a broad spectrum of subject materi- al. With the Audio-Lingual Material series as a guide, the French, Spanish, and German courses provided students with a comprehensive study of the phonetic and grammatical aspects of the respective languages. Latin students gained a general understanding of the structure of the language, as well as a firm founda- tion in Roman historv and mythology. All members of the language department strove to aid their students in an academic appreciation of language, as well as an appreciation of the culture which spawned a particular tongue. Elain Hammond, M.A.T.S. Cheerful and energetic, Miss Hammond is an enthusiastic water sports fan, as well as an active participant in the fields of music and dance. G. William Hettler, M.A. Mr. Hettler, who once thought of being an M.D., enjoys listen- ing to various types of music in his spare time. Department Chairman; French Club Ad- visor. Mr. Booth listens appreciatively to a reading from the autobio- graphy of Juan Valdez. 28
