MR. WILLIAM E. CARROW MR. HERBERT G.SCHLEGEL MR. HAZEN C. BOYD JR. The greatest progress in the mathematics department has been in the variety of its offerings. At the moment programs are available for students planning careers in both the scientific and non-scientific professions, in the technical areas, para -professional fields, and the trades. Remedial programs have been instituted for those requiring special assistance, and enrichment opportunities are present in the form of mathematic teams at both the senior and junior high level, and an evening seminar in mathematics-science. Occupational competence and other career oriented, laboratory based, science-mathematics courses are currently operating. These programs are available for students from grade 8 all the way up to grade 12. DR. WILLIAM POLLOCK MR. VICTOR GAGNON MR. ROBERT F. SMITH mathematics

administration Dear Graduates, Diploma” is defined as a writing conferring some privilege, honor, or power. As a nation, our country struggled and labored long for its first diploma - The Dec- laration of Independence. Members of the Class of 1976 proudly receive their diplomas in the Year of the Bicen- tennial. Along with my sincere congratulations, may I remind you of your great responsibility in finding and keeping a healthy balance between commitment to the individual and commitment to the group. Excessive concern for one ' s self is to be avoided, so too is extravagant attention to society.” We must nurture the growth and protect the inalienable rights of the individual. We must, at appro- priate times, and in appropriate ways, compromise and sacrifice for the group. There is indeed unity in strength, but we must not gain the whole world and lose our own soul. Also, it will be your added responsibility to reaffirm the will to govern and be governed. In the aftermath of all the scandals of our recent past, it is understandable, but dan- gerous, to mistrust all leaders. Decent, sensitive, com- passionate young people must not turn from leadership roles. Nor must they indiscriminately attack all leaders for the resulting anarchy will last only a moment. The vacuum will be filled all too soon with totalitarian meth- ods. Each must say, The buck stops with me. Sincerely, DR. J. PETER HARE Asst. Supt. RICHARD C. HOWLAND Principal FOSTER H. BALL Superintendent of Schools EDWARD L. RILEY Asst. Principal 18

science M . H . S . science teachers extend best wishes to the Class of 1976, a class which has always sparkled with science superstars! This year we welcomed Mr. Allison, pinch hitting for Mrs. Coleman while she pursues study in Biology. He taught the Micro and Anatomy classes, in which we had our highest enrollment. Mr. Costello is proud of our new revised Chemistry program, while our advanced biologists continue to roam the countryside under the expen direction of Mr. Ryan. Our I.P.S. 8th graders were treated to the inner world of programmed instruction using a vari- ety of A. V. equipment and ear phones. It was a very good year in the Science Department and we look forward to many more! MR. RICHARD COSTELLO MR. HARRY TOZIER MR. DAVID RYAN MR. JAMES ALLISON MR. HARDY NALLY
