Vanguard PSSC System Steers Physics Courses This year for the first time all the physics courses adopted the Physical Science Study Committee cur- riculum, increasing the work load and shifting the emphasis from sheer fact-devouring to thinking, reasoning, and experimenting. A fast-paced sched- ule of movies and experiments, lectures, reading, and problem-solving reached the s t u d e n t with knowledge of optics and kinematics through all his senses. The most sluggish curiosity was active by June, for the purpose of this course was as much to raise questions as to answer them. The questions raised in Biology 2 were partially answered, at least as the classes selected scalpels and skillfully dissected deceased rats and cats, learning more and more about the nervous, muscu- lar, reproductive, and skeletal systems as they dug deeper and deeper into the prone rodents and supine felines. Physics and Biology Club members seemed to be going through a second childhood, as they wander- ed dazedly with 'tSlinkys in hand or chased about after butterflies. These students were actually doing some dedicated delving into topics like wave motion and lepidopterology. Mr. Lewis Sanford Chemistry, Wheel Club Mr. James W.
