Realizing how important a good foundation in math is. the deportment offers oil phoses of mathematics to students who wish to take advantage of them. The courses offered include: algebra I and II, plain and solid geometry, trigonometry, and odvonced algebra. Arts and Crofts students take a practical mathematics course designed to fit their special needs. Juniors who do not attain a satisfactory level of proficiency in Standard Tests in Arithmetic carry an additional course in Remedial Mathematics during their senior year. Mr. Robert N.

Culver Mr. Edwin L Harer Microscopes, bunsen burners, and spring balances — these are the tools which students of science learn to utilize on the second floor of the new building. Under the direction of McKinley Stevens, the science department impresses upon the minds of pupils the lows, theories, and hypotheses of biology, physics, and chemistry. Sophomores learn why a pdramecium moves backward, what makes a frog jump, and why the human heart beats. Juniors who plan to enter the specialized fields of science, elect physics or advanced biology. Each year seniors are held responsible for the odors which come from the direction of the academic chemistry laboratory. The senior class is also fortunate in having courses in advanced physics, and accelerated chemistry. Thus the Upper Darby science department extends to its students on excellent background for entrance into college and science. Mr. McKinley H. Steven L m. Mr. George G. Lower er Mr. William S.
