SCIENCE The struggle of independent nations for peace in freedom has been equated with a struggle for scientific supremacy between the two major powers. Thus, a newly alerted sense of responsi- bility has been felt by America's leading scientists as well as by the science students of Scotia. Chairman Sawyer's science department con- tinues its program to develop future scientists and engineers who may help to lead the country and the world to a better life with peace—in free- dom. (Left) Michael Benedict, Joan Hesler and Leanne Hanrahan concentrate on an experiment in Mr. McGuire's physics lab. (Above): Mr. Goyette checks the data of general science students.

MATHEMATICS At Scotia-Glenville math courses are offered to prepare students for careers in science, business and the arts. Reflecting the trend of the times, and in response to the motivation of their highly qualified teachers, students' interest in mathe- matics has been on the upswing here. Many talented students have availed them- selves of the Advanced Mathematics classes and one of the larger clubs in the extracurricular ac- tivities program is the newly formed Mathematics Club.
