Courses Continue To Be Exciting Departments respond to students’ needs The high school experience at Schreiber this year continued to be one which motivated students and prepared them for future life goals. As in past years, the program was characterized by imaginative course content and creative teach- ing. Academic departments respond- ed to new student needs, as evi- denced by the Science Depart- ment’s addition of marine biology and zoology to its curriculum. Spe- cialized skills offerings such as the flying course and the technical writ- ing course, an interdepartmental offering, were, as in the past, heavi- ly subscribed. Highly motivated stu- dents could even get college credit for their efforts in Advanced Place- ment courses or in the Project Ad- vance course in psychology. 16

Programs Help Students Look Beyond Graduation Career days aid in planning for future In the past year, Schreiber provided its students with many programs geared to- ward preparing them for life after gradu- ation. The Guidance Department en- couraged students to look ahead by bringing representatives from many col- leges to the school. Career days, during which students were given opportunities to take an inside look at various profes- sions, were organized to aid students in planning their future careers. For those intending to enter the work force imme- diately upon graduation, a work — study program was instituted whereby stu- dents could obtain actual experience in a job situation. Through such special programs, each student was provided with a firm basis for future success in whatever field he might choose.
