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.
