Below: Mr. Barrett lectures to a physics class on pully systems. ln Chemistry and Physics In a world of ever-expanding technology, science is king. lt.is the field of knowledge which is growing so rapidly that areas are developed almost more quickly than they can be absorbed. A science faculty must be abreast of the newest discoveries and methods, yet able to teach the basic facts and instill in their students the age-old attitude of scientific inquiry. In general and earth sciences, new approaches in- crease the studentis knowledge of the world around him. Biology and chemistry explore the natural and physical surroundings in greater detail, while physics and science seminars probe the smallest basic build- ing blocks of our universe. Beyond are the frontiers of science where tomorrow's Wonders are being created. The rigors of space exploration, the eradication of disease, better understanding of the complex human organism and the globe we inhabit, all demand an in- tellectual discipline and application greater than ever before required of a rising generation. Mr. Barrett and his nine colleagues introduce Waterford students to that exciting world. students become aware of the influence science has on their lives.
