Element 105 . . . heart transplants . . . moon shots . . . science progresses at a phenomenal rate, seeking answers to urgent problems. A high school must en- lighten its students as to .both past and present trends in science and involve them in this development. With a faculty kept informed by individual studies, THS meets this challenge with success. An entirely new vocabulary is discovered in chemis- try, the study of matter and its changes-neutrino, mole, Ytterbium, and 6.023 X 1023. In the lab, abstract ideas become concrete actualities as students learn to make observations and draw conclusions. Innovative film loops clarify the lab Work. Fusing elements of physics and chemistry, physical science instills in freshmen a new awareness of their surroundings. Lab work in chemical bonding and re- actions, electricity, and mechanics, a newly added held, sparks the interest of many. Motivated to expand their ken to a multitude of topics, juniors accept the challenge of physics. Changing with the times, this department purchased and introduced a helium-neon laser and a cathode ray tube this year. New areas of study include microwaves and computers. On Saturday mornings, a group of inspired seniors seek further involvement by attending informal lectures on advanced realms. 29

Knowledge of this drawer filled with unfamiliar scientific utensils may hold the key which will unlock future biological discoveries. Stare at a paramecia for two billion years and it will struggle through life as a planaria, clam, goldfish, robin, and ultimately man. The biology course traces this evo- lutionary path, pausing at the various phyla to explore their organisms. A major objective is introducing students to the microscope and dissecting tools. In addition to re-examining the kingdoms, Advanced Biology considers recent topics including radiation and DNA, areas of astounding progress. Emphasis is placed on weekly labs where blood counts are taken and fetal pigs are dissected. THELMA J. FLINT B.A., Barnard M.A., Columbia Ph,D., Columbia Biology Club GEORGE A.
