pportunities for scientists increase To keep up with The nation-wide em- phasis on scientific careers, the science department has expanded its curriculum This year. The most significant change is The introduction of a general science course required of all eighth graders. Through This course, The young student not only is given an opportunity To de- velop an interest in science, but also is provided with a background for The sciences which he will study in The upper grades. Another addition is the require- ment that all graduates must have credit for at least one physical and one bio- logical science. This year The advanced standing chemistry course vvas expanded to seven and one halt periods a week. In addition to preparing some students for scientific careers, this varied program will provide all graduates with a prac- tical knowledge of science.

This year the first class to undertake the comprehensive program completed four years of math in only three years. At the end of their senior year advanced pupils take an examination to determine their standing at college. Students tak- ing mathematics courses can recall the conversion from fractions to decimals in seventh and eighth grade classes, the never-ending list of theorems and postu- lates in solid and plane geometry, and the numerous series of sines, cosines, and tangents in Trigonometry. A student who has studied mathematics at Walnut Hills is prepared for the future. Even if he does not continue with mathematics in college, the accurate vvork habits which he acquired in high school will benefit him in other fields.

Lower school history students learn how to use reference books in the library. 24 The study ot the past often re- veals the key to the future. By tracing the development ot older civilizations an understanding of today's international problems can be gained. Lower school pu- pils, in their social studies classes, become familiar with our coun- try's past and with the history and customs of our neighbors in the Western Hemisphere. Upper school students have a variety ot courses from which to choose. In addition to American history and government, which is required, they may take ancient and me- dieval history or modern history. Seniors may elect a course in economics and sociology in which they analyze problems ot our modern society.
