Miss Dianne C.

The physical sciences include Science l and ll, a two-year unified college-preparatory physics and chemistry course, Chemistry, Physical Science, and General Science. Those interested in the natural sciences have a choice of Biology, General Biology, and General Physiology and Hygiene. For those who want advanced studies, the depart- ment offers Science lll, an advanced physics course, offered for the first time this year, and Advanced Biology, a course only two years old. lt is hoped that the facts and concepts learned in each and every science program will lead the par- ticipant to some understanding of the what's how's and why's of our universe. Beyond this, it is hoped that he will gain the initiative to inquire more deeply into what he does know and beyond to that which he does not yet know, either along the lines of the program he has been pursuing or in some adjacent field of science. The purpose of the entire science curriculum, then, is to give the student a greater appreciation and un- derstanding of himself and of the physical world around him. Those interested in the natural sciences may choose . . . Biology, as these freshmen did. From whence cometh the top of the round? 1-7 This year's science lll class, with nine pupils-all sen- iors-is our largest yet. Come on, Junior!

MATH DEPARTMENT The Sharon High School Mathematics Department teaches the best of traditional and modern mathematical concepts in order, generally, to enrich the background of the student and, in the case of the college preparatory student, to prepare him for future courses on a post high school level. The pro- gram is constructed with many sources from the field of mathematical education as bases. The courses range from Business Mathematics through Elementary and Advanced Algebra, to Calculus and Analytical Geometry - a fifth course in the college preparatory program offered for the first time this year. It can certainly be said that Sharon provides a more than adequate mathematics program which allows both the term- inating and preparatory student every opportunity to devel- op his capacity and interest to the utmost. The courses range . . . through Advanced Algebra, as these juniors can attest. My, what a nice equation! I6

BUSINESS DEPARTMENT Our commercial program serves to apply knowledge on practical levels-to establish basic patterns in business learning. The pro- gram is further geared to vocational com- petence through skill development. A business math student may use his knowl- edge of basic arithmetic as it applies to bus- iness transactions, to enter the business world or go on to further training in a field such as accounting. With the solid back- ground Sharon offers in typewriting and steno- ,it The home-economics department prepares its girls for . . . homemaking. A handful of flour, bit of sugar, pinch of salt . . . graphy, a student may develop the proficiency to be highly successful at secretarial work- and, with bookkeeping and office practice, at a broader scope of office work. The home economics department prepares its girls for such things as dietary work, sewing, design- ing and homemaking. A commercial student graduates from Shar- on High's program with the knowledge and skill to become a productive member of our O O O society. Mrs. Miriam R. Eames .
