ENGLISH English classes of the Upper Darby Senior High School teach not only the established rules and present-day literary usage in school situations, but also suggest good practice in the use of language in social situations outside of school. Although in previous years accelerated classes were offered to seniors only, this year accelerated classes have been started for juniors and sophomores. Miss Edith Gaukrodger heads the English Department in which a pro- gram of reading, vocabulary building, com- position, spelling, and punctuation points Upper Darby students to more effective communica- tion in all courses offered.

Th.e Unknown MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE In this day of space travel and rocketry, schools have been forced to improve their Science and Mathematics Departments. Upper Darby has met this challenge. The Science Department, under the leadership of Mr. McKin- ley Stevens, and the Mathematics Department, under the direction of Mr. John Diehl, are among the best of their kind in the country. The Upper Darby curriculum includes all sci- ences from biology to advanced physics, with mathematics courses ranging from remedial math to analytic geometry. These two departments are capable of han- dling all areas of scientific and mathematical instruction. Nevertheless, Upper Darby Science teachers are not satisfied to let the courses stand as they are; they are making plans to better them in the coming years. Be it the addition of calculus, or nuclear physics, as need arises new subjects will be added to those already offered. BUNSEN BURNERS, test lube», and chemicals intrigue Mike Simeone, Dave Sample, Bert Hickey, and Mike Brown. A FEW painters from Mr. Sascia help Rosmary Smith in Geometry.
