Irving Leather, B. A. Arnold Schultz M. R. E. B. S. Anthony Vasallo B . A . Science-A Field of Discovery Each year new jobs open for graduating stridents. Many of these are in the field of science. In prepara- tion for this, many students attend courses in physical science, biology, chemistry, and physics. Each course adds more knowledge and better understanding of what was once the unknovsm and unexplored. Often the teachers found themselves in the midst of deep discussion when it came to topics such as evolution and genetics. Each class not only helped the students to understand, but often helped them to formulate their own ideas. Gloria Pickhover serves as Future Teacher of chemistry class. Use of slide rule brings Mr. Leather and Mr. Vasallo to blackboard in their discussion. Biology class is interesting place when Mr. Schultz presents new concepts.

B.A.g M.A. advantage. l There are certain subjects necessary to the training of any job applicant, and one of the foremost is mathematics. With a background in math, a student has a bet- ter chance of getting a suitablejob in the future. Many students entered math classes with an air of disdain or uncertainty, but were surprised when they learned that once past the fundamentals, the rest was easier to understand. Even more surprising was the fact that some of them enjoyed what they were doing. Mrs. Ethel Scott gave every student the opportunity to become a good math student, making freshman mathematics in college much easier to attain. Math is truly the foundation oflearning under Mrs. Scott's capa- ble hands.
