DAVID KOVAL, M.A. Physics, Science, math, Science Club Science The science departmentis major aims are to teach each person to become a better consumer and citizen and also to stimulate an interest in the sciences. Some courses are designed to help stu- dents prepare for college. This department went on numerous field trips. In the fall and spring there were organized camping trips. Students, before going are required to have a research topic and experiments to do. Some of the topics are geology, fossils, plant distribution, the mapping ofa lake and its depths and the mapping ofa gorge dug out by the Illinois River. These trips are usually from 3 to 5 days. Back at school, they categorize their information and put it into a report. These students work independently and accomplish much. On the average, about 20 students go on these trips. Other trips open to the whole department and with no pre-requisites are to the dis- trict and state fairs and to museums. STEPHEN KYRIAS, M.S. CHRM., Biology, Science 12 R. D. JOHNSON, B.A. Cen.

These range from beginning to ad- vanced courses. Included are bands, choral groups, and a course in music theory. These par- ticipate in many school and area functions. These groups perform at the fall, Christmas, and spring concerts. The art department, through many different techniques, hopes to strengthen the student's awareness of art in daily life. Art I has been re- vised so that there will be a uniformity of instruc- tion. The recording of instructions and film strips are being used to fulfill this purpose. A Craft Activity unit was used on all levels of instruc- tion. The ceramic classes stressed sculpturing more than they had in past years.
