This approach was based on the assumption that the best way to learn is by direct experience. To be prepared for a future position in our society, the students must be presented with opportunities to assess themselves and their world and to develop qualities of self-reliance and critical perception. These aims were ambitious, but were beginning to be realized this year. Students were given the opportunity to teach classes and related their opinions based on substantial evidence. There was an increased use of independent study assignments and video tapes which gave the students a chance to work on their own, at their own rate and in the field which interested them most. A good background in methods such as these will encourage students to continue their efforts in independent inquiry when they take their places in society.

Science Department Still Moving The transfer to the new addition entailed a consid- erable amount of work for the Science Department. Though a professional moving staff was employed to pack and move the bulk of the equipment, students were enlisted to transfer lighter items. However, in spite of the work involved, the department welcomed the change. The modern equipment in the new laboratories greatly increased the efficiency and effectiveness of the department in teaching science students. In previous years all the equipment was scattered throughout numerous preparatory rooms in the sci- ence wing. Endless searching for a desired item terminated in the Central Storage Room which con- tained all lab equipment for Biology, Chemistry and Physics. ' A lab technician was added to the staff to assist the teachers, while students were also employed to mix solutions and gather materials for class use. Two independent study areas were available for student use, one in the Media Center which housed texts and research materials, and one in the new science wing. This was ci fully equipped laboratory where students were able to conduct labs under the supervision of a teacher.
