.-,fd Science Courses Satisfy Student Curiosity In every student there is a streak of curiosity. Many students found outlets for this curiosity in science courses. The three maior science courses at Tennyson, biology, chemistry, and physics, deal with the world about us, its composition and why it behaves as it does. In biology classes students discovered the world of nature. Chemistry, or the study ofcomposition of matter, was offered to iunior students this year. In the course of the year students learned the answer to many common mysteries such as what happens when wood burns, why a cake rises, and the prin- ciples of bleaching. ln the physics classes students studied the causes and effects of everyday happenings. Mr. Nesseth, chemistry instructor, elaborates on a laboratory experi- ment before the wondering eyes of Beatrice Taylor. Mathematics Offers Challenge to Many For some students, mathematics is simply a col- lege requirement, something to be tolerated for one or two years and then discontinued. For many, however, algebra, geometry, and higher mathe- matics are an enioyable challenge. Tennyson has one of the finest mathematics departments in the district, making possible a great assortment of courses. These courses range from basic mathematics to advanced algebra and are taught by competent teachers. The classes fall into two categories, arith- metic and reasoning. Mr. Engbrock leisurely observes Lurlie Dowling as she a bit hesi- tantly demonstrates her understanding of a problem in beginning Algebra.

His iob in- cludes not only being a friend-in-need, but also acting as a helpful guide as the students select their entire high school program. The counselor stays with his counselees throughout all four years and has each of them for one period each day, at which time he teaches them social science. The freshmen receive one semester of adoles- cent adiustment and one semester of review of ancient history. In the sophomore year the students get driv- er's training for nine weeks and a continuation of world history. Some of the more fortunate pupils actually get behind-the-wheel driving for twelve hours. These students, upon completion of drivers' training, receive a discount on their insurance rates and can obtain their licenses six months earlier than teen-agers without this course. The junior year is devoted to American his- tory. All students must pass both semesters of this section before they can graduate. I , .fl 4:1 i . f .f JU!
