Contact with Challenges of Tomorrow The science department at Willkie is as diversified as the field of science itself. Classes in biology, chemistry, and physical science provide knowledge vital to the modern student in our scientific world. Textbook knowledge is necessary but much practical knowledge is gained through numerous field trips in the advanced courses of physics and advanced biology. Classes are stimulating as well as informative, and advanced students are encouraged to pursue their own specialty in special projects. Willkie High School believes scientific knowledge is necessary and the science department makes this education available. Faculty members in the science department this year included: the department head, Mr. Smith, who teaches physics and physical science, Mr. Mitsche-len and Mr. Alexander teaching biology and advanced biology, and Mr. Huffman teaching chemistry and physical science. Use of the microscope is an important part of sophomore biology. Chemistry students learn that accurate weights are essential. 25
