Science is the key to the future and our science department has kept this in mind through the years as it has strived to better the minds of Po-Hi students in their scientific endeavors. Insect collections and microscopic observations make up a major part of the year's work in the biology classes. As students struggle through their physics and chemistry courses, they realize the value of a good background in math. In almost every phase of our daily lives some type of math is used. Our Po-Hi math department realizes this, and each year they try to impress the importance of this on their students. Practical Math, Algebra I, Algebra ll, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Prob- ability and Statistics are the courses offered. SMSG Trigonometry and Algebra II are taken by the Po-Hi students who want a more advanced form of study.

To acquaint students with the past and present civilizations of our world is a goal of the Po-Hi social studies de- partment. Psychology and sociology students study about man and his interrelation- ships with civilization and otlier peo- ples. The responsibilities of a citizen to' his country are great, as the students in the government, economics, and problems of democracy courses dis- cover. The topography of the earth, its min- erals, bodies of water, and other natural resources, and the effect of these on the peoples of the earth are studied by students in Mr. Hoskin's world geography. Oklahoma history, American history, Modern European history, and World history give the students an opportun- ity to study about past civilizations and how they have molded our world of today. Y l.
