Course Additions Advance Studies Advanced physics, taught by Mr. Alan Breitler, is the newest addition to the science department curriculum. Most of the 10 senior boys in the class will take the advanced placement test in May to try for exemption from physics in college. Closed circuit television and other electronic equipment which may be used by the school will be built as out-of-class projects. In addition to the daily college-level class period, students stay until 5 p.m. every Thursday for laboratory study. To be eligible for the course, a student must have taken biology, chemistry and first-year physics. The waiting list in driver education is practically nil, according to Mr. Milton Sarris, driver education teacher. Classes have been increased from five to nine daily due to the addition of Mr. John Aravanis in the driver education Photo by Bensinger a d v a n c e d p h y s i c a l p h e n o m e n o n . department.
