In addition to the general biology and traditional biology programs, the department is now offering the B.S.C.S. Biology course, as well as Advanced Placement Biology for second year students. Such revisions have been developed to aid the prospec¬ tive student of biology in obtaining more lab experience and a solid background. These new programs, complemented by the addition of new faculty members, will make it possible for the Biology Department to achieve outstanding goals in the not-too-distant future. Mike Kramer seems to be engrossed in his lab work. Mr. Freeley instructs his Biology class.

Under the com¬ petent guidance of Mr. Robert Cohen, the Physical Science de¬ partment now offers a greater variation in its curriculum. Entirely new teaching methods are being initiated this year. Science classes no longer consist of just lectures; they are spiced with vivid and interesting demonstrations and lab periods, de¬ signed to teach the students by permitting them to participate in the experiments. More honors courses have been formed for the science subjects now being offered. Chemistry, for example, has an honors class for juniors called Chem Study, and physics also has an advanced program for seniors called P.S.S.C. Physics. Through these fascinating achievements the students of Wo¬ burn High School are really discovering the astonishing world of twentieth-century physical science. Sandra Corsetti explains her Science Fair project to David Bramley. 16

For business-oriented students, at¬ tention is focused on letter writing, reports, and the many essentials so necessary to achieve success in the business world today. Mr. Paul Murphy, chairman, states that this year the En¬ glish department is also working to improve the Theme Writing Program so that students will be able to write on a given topic with clearness, depth, and intelligence; there¬ fore, a Theme Corrector Program has been instituted for college preparatory classes in grades nine through twelve. Practice in the varied types of writing for business and college preparatory groups will be profitable in future years; no matter what field of endeavor the pupil pursues, the basic skill of writing is of the utmost importance. Miss Dunsford reflects upon a question asked by one of her students. 18
