Science The moon or bust! That sums up the attitude taken by the United States' Scientists. They are working around the clock to create a rocket which will reach the moon. While this is going on, another group of optimistic experts are ex- perimenting with types ot clothing to be worn by men go- ing into outer space. Still other scientists study the type of air this man will breath and the food he'll eat. Now the iunior scientists at Waukesha aren't ready to tackle these types of problems yet, but they know that the courses they're taking will prepare them for bigger things. Science survey, biology, chemistry, and physics are the courses altered. This year a second year of biology, con- sisting chiefly ot laboratory work, has been added to the list, as well as the engineering, or honors, physics course and an honors chemistry course. All of these courses are designed to give the student a deeper perception of the sciences, but the final result will be a stronger America through science.

Edwin Dw er - B.E. State CHALK BOARDS ARE EVER-USEFUL in Mrs. Fagerland's classes. Mathematics The WHS Mathematics Department, long oflering a fine program in secondary school math, has continued to evaluate and revamp its course otterings, from gen- eral math to higher algebra. Here at Waukesha, the student is prepared for the arithmetic of the workday world or the further study of mathematics in colleges and technical schools, depend- ing on his aptitudes and interests. National studies have shown some high schools sadly neglecting math courses or poorly preparing students within the courses offered. However, comparisons ot Waukesha's offerings and its students' test results in nation-wide surveys show a fine program here.

Fine Arts According to most newspaper articles, all teenagers are uncivilized rufliansg however, the students at Wau- kesha High are constantly proving this false. In many ways they benefit the community. As members of a choir, such as the A Cappella choir, or bond or orches- tra, those with musical ability can share their talents with others. They put on programs that are open to the public, such as the annual Christmas concert which has become an inspiring and welcome tradition. Modern art is criticized by some, but it is understood and accepted by many of the art students. In art class the teenagers themselves create masterpieces, many ot which are displayed in the art room showcase. A sense of pride and achievement is felt by all students whose art work is considered worthy of being displayed. Through their work some of them show promise of a lu- ture in the art field.
