Science: ci Course of Concentration john Belbruno demonstrates. The students of Waterford High School, along with the science department, headed by Mr. Carlton Klocker and Mr. Gerard Rousseau, can now boast of two new efficient biology laboratories. The new laboratories con- tain the latest equipment that is readily available when- ever experimentation is needed. The new labs will heighten a studentls ability to learn through individual experimentation. While the earth science classes con- tinue to study geology, astronomy, and earth history, other students communicate on various levels of physics, chemistry, and biology. Biology consists of the study or organic elements. Chemistry on the other hand, deals with the study of organic and inorganic elements. Physics includes the study of electricity, vectors, motion, force, color, and light. This year Lloyd Drinkard, accompanied by Mr. Carl- ton Seybolt, attended the conference on the atom in Chicago. The science department has also selected three candidates to attend the Connecticut Science and Humanities Symposium at Yale. Through the coopera- tion of the Science department a student develops a scientific understanding that will better enable him to become an active part of tomorrows, scientific world. Gary Browne contemplates the wide scope of Physics.

It is the business departments responsibility to aid in training those who wish to enter this booming business world. The courses which they offer are typing, stenography, busi- ness math, bookkeeping, oflice machines, shorthand, and other basic skills. In addition to the various courses and basic skills in business administration, the students also are acquainted with the opportunities in secretarial fields. This is done by the Future Secretaries of America Club. However, the business courses are not restricted only to those who intend to major in this field. They also provide partial credit in personal typing for those who wish to improve their skill. A business career enables one to participate in commerce between the United States and other countries.
