MR. PATRICK GULLIFOR Biology , cha Chix I MR. EARL T. HIBBS Biology SCIENC Any alumnus of the old building would be surprised at the size of Washington's modern science department with its ever-increasing en- rollment. The improvement of this department is a result of the great interest in science today. With the growth of science comes a better way of living and a new means of communication and travel. It is in the class- room that young scientists first acquire the knowledge they will need for future careers in this field. Chemistry, physics, and biology classes stress the basic principles of these various branches of science. Chemistry students learn about chem- icals and their reactions. Laboratory periods are quite popular since the text material becomes a reality with the use ot test tubes and chem- icals. Physics is the study of matter and energy. In the physics classroom problems are discussed and explanations written on every available board. Biology, the study of life, can involve both chemistry and physics. The chemistry of the body is greatly stressed and the principles ot physics are introduced in various aspects of biology. The science department has grown at Washington so that young scientists can have the best opportunity to develop their interests and skills. MR. LEONARD KAPSA Biology 'Fr .' lf. 'X . .5 Ms: pggg.

ELAINE Gll.PlN Introduction to Social Studies SOCIAL STUDIE Now that newspaper headlines scream about the de-- plorable events of the world, the citizen needs to know the principles behind the diplomacy of a particular area and its past history. Social studies is an important part of any school curriculum. lt is necessary that students gain a knowledge of good government, learn of the importance of political diplomacy, and have a conscientious aware- ness of the past and present. Students do not learn only through textbooks, but also through first hand experiences. In November mock elec- tions were held by many social studies classes and the results were compared to the actual returns. Classroom discussions frequently concern newsworthy events so that a student can learn to be more objective about the world situation. The workings of government are on important part of the curriculum. The three branches of government are viewed with a critical eye both on the national and local levels. Seniors this year had an opportunity to come to conclusions about social and governmental problems through a Problems in Democracy course. Freshmen were introduced to social studies in a civics course appropriate- ly called Introduction to Social Studies . The expansion and improvement of the social studies department has afforded students the opportunity to be- come well-informed citizens and leaders of tomorrow. MR. WAYNE HARSH MR. CLARE HOLLEY MR.
