 Social Science Makes Way For Opportunity An important department in High- more High School is the Science and Math department which adds a lot of features in our school. Mr. Schuurmans, Mr. Moses, Mrs. Whiting, Mr. Heintz, and Mrs. Moses all worked hard in the Science and Math department. An unlucky teacher Mr. Schuurmans had two classes of sophomores in Bi- ology I. They had a different kind of year by disecting odd little animals. He had classes of General Science with the freshman. They went on a field trip during the year. Another class in his busy day was Human Physiology. Mrs. Whiting did not have a terrably busy year with classes of Algebra I, Pre Algebra a new course added this year and General Math. Mr. Heintz taught classes of Gen- eral Science, with just one class of Bi- ology I and Chemistry class did a lot of different experiments which some times always didn't turn out. Field Ecology was another one of his classes. They learned about the environment and how it effects them. A few things in Mrs. Moses re- sponsibilities is the more advanced Algebra II and Geometry.

Administration’s Goal Conformity Being a part of the administration is not fun and games, but alot of hard work. The administration is made up of the superintendent, the principal, and the schoolboard. Many long hours are taken from their busy schedules to try and solve the problems of the school. Superintendent Uken is in his fourth year at Highmore High School. Mr. Uken shows a great interest in sports. When he is not busy with his many du- ties as superintendent, you will often find him supporting the Pirates at many events. In his second year here is Mr. Robert Luce. As a high school princi- pal, Mr. Luce has the job of overseeing the teachers and students. Mr. Luce also enjoys sports and can be seen at many home events. The schoolboard consists of eight members from Hyde County elected by members of this school district. Regu- lar monthly meetings are held along with special meetings to discuss unex- pected but important issues. Although these members are busy with their regular jobs, they take the time to do their job as board member. Some of their duties are the hiring of teachers, the salaries, and the representing of the people to make education in this school system better for the benefit of the students and the community.

Science And Math Challenges Brain Power Mrs. Ruebel, Mr. Morriss, and Mrs. Moses were the instructors in the Social Science department this past year. During Mrs. Ruebels last year at HHS she busied herself with constitu- tion. It was a full class of Juniors, with some seniors having just one semester of it. One of the many things the con- stitution class did was going to the court house to observe and gain first hand experience with court proceedings. They took out a day of school to attend government day held at the Auditorium. Many local business men and people talked about city and state government. A new teacher this year is Mr. Morriss, he had a busy schedule. He had classes with all grades in the high school. In History I and II he had freshman and Sophomores. He kept the students busy just as well as they kept him busy. American Minorities and Sociology classes added a lot to the Social Science department this past year. Just one of Mrs. Moses classes was Sociology. All her classes were full and she was kept busy. UPPER LEFT: Roxanne Moysis, Mark Arendt, and Scott Peterson are hard at work on a physics project.
