Mr. O’Boyle, our man of distinction, poses with every pos- sible gushing ounce of dignity. His assignment includes general science for three 7th grade groups. Mr. Green discusses sparks and shocks with a freshman Physical Science Class. General Science is now a terminal course for many at the 7th grade level and an introduction to phy- sics and chemistry is pro- vided for students who are ready for this in the fresh- man year.

Mrs. Berg land looks forward to happy results in sophomore Biology now that she has the opportunity to prepare these people on the 8th grade level. As part of the science re-organization plan 8th grade science has become a two semester course in elementary Biology. Mr. Hill, on his way to 7B in Room 3, stops to say some- thing nasty to the photographer. This is one of six Junior High math groups he meets each day. The two handsome males in the background were identified as Tab Hunter and Rock Hudson. Mr. Snyder phones a Science Fair committeeman in reference to any one of six thousand min- ute details. Mr. Snyder’s res- ponsibilities as science - math co-ordinator include setting-up and supervising these subjects on all grade levels. This sort of continual direction plus Title III, federal subsidies for science, should ultimately reveal a vibrant new student interest in these areas.

 The department's extra- curricular organization, Future Business Leaders of America, walked away with two top area offices this year. Mary Ellen Schubert was elected President of FBLA Northern Illinois Dis- trict and Ruby Eden was chos- en Treasurer. Mrs. Schubert serves as Business Education instructor and Adviser of the local FBLA group. Mrs. Schu- bert is experimenting this year with elective personal typing on the 8th grade level. Harold relates his famed ice cream cone joke to Roberta, Mary Ellen, Nancy, Mrs. O' Boyle, a tape recorder, and one photographer (not shown). These four students courageously chose to be guinea pigs for Stockton's first third-year French Class. With a little bit of luck French III will become a perennial.
