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.

The earth vibrates with the sound of the spoken word. People in many coun- tries speak different languages, and at Po-Hi a student may learn Latin, Span- ish, or French. Through the learning of these languages a student obtains a better understanding and acceptance of other nationalities and their culture. The 'art department of Po-Hi im- presses its students with the importance of really seeing and not just looking at the beauty of the world. The year is divided into four parts.: charcoal draw- ings, color and design, lettering, and a choice of handicrafts. All of Po-Hi begins with the sound of music! In the glee club room, in the band and orchestra, the harmony and rhythm of music is heard, taught, and felt. The Future Farmers of America learn about their chosen profession in the courses offered by the Po-Hi vo- cational agriculture department.
