ROGER DEMING Science DONALD DENNISON Science MARVIN FURHMAN Science HERBERT HARPER Science Mathematics Interest in Math, A continued interest prevailed in the math and science fields this year. The importance of having qualified scientists for fu- ture years encouraged many students to avail themselves of the opportunities to achieve success in this field. Science and math courses are available in all grades. Junior high students are taught basic mathematics and natural science. Freshmen may also study algebra, as a preparation for higher algebra, a senior high elective. Lines, angles, and circles be- come common things to those enrolled in plane geometry. Higher algebra students vary their studies from basic signed numbers to logarithms. An advanced combination of these courses is offered in solid geometry. Biology, a science dealing with all forms of plant and animal life, is a favorite with all science-minded students. The sixth annual wildlife dinner was sponsored by this year's biology students. 18

Students Adjust to Science Following the trend established by many other schools, FLHS has made a change in this year's curriculum. Previously, physics has been considered a junior subject and chemistry was taken in the senior year. Because chemistry is an impor- tant prerequisite to an understanding of physics, chemistry will now be considered a junior subject. Physics will then be taken by next year's seniors. Due to this change, enrollment in chemistry classes increased as a large number of both juniors and seniors registered for this course. The composition of matter and the changes it un- dergoes became a prime concern to these students. After be- ginning their study with an understanding of the periodic table and a general knowledge of all the elements, chemis- try students continued their studies by learning of the various elements and their structures. The modern, well-equipped laboratory gave students the opportunity to experiment in the many phases of chemistry and put their knowledge to a practical test. For those who do not plan to continue their scientific studies, but wish to have some knowledge of mathematics and its use in their daily life, FLHS offers a course in consumers' mathematics.
