FONTANA Fordham University, Trinity College, University of Connecticut, University of Hartford, Boston University, The science department at Southington High School offers students courses in biology, chem- istry and physics. In recent years, all sciences have undergone updating. Biology is no exception. Biologists were not satisfied with the traditional method which stressed straight memorization. Under a grant from the National Science Foundation the emphasis has been shifted to the molecular, cel- lular and community levels of biology instead of all the technical jargon that aims at training the technical expert. A new program in chemistry is also being taught at Southington High School this year. This is the new Chemical Education Material Study program. This new program places emphasis upon the most enjoyable part of chemistry- experimentation. The student sees principles grow out of observations he has made in the lab- oratory. Consequently there is no need in this program for endless memorization. Two advanced science courses are offered at Southington High. These courses are in biology, the prerequisite being introductory biology, and physics, the prerequisite being chemistry. These courses are designed for students who intend to put the major emphasis of their college work on science. - Miss Nellie Shepard
