Science Keeping Pace by Hillard Salas The science department's courses at Hempstead in- clude classes designed for various interests in the sciences. Physical science, earth science, biology, chemistry, physics, physiology and environ- mental studies are all repre- sented in the science cur- riculum. There were two new courses added to the long- time offerings ofthe science department. They were honors ladvancedj classes in earth science and chemistry. They were creat- ed primarily to fulfill the needs of college-bound students and to provide greater challenges, accord- ing to Mike Marty, new department chairman. We've kept pace with student needs, said Marty. He added that in the past, the science department has had to cope with large enrollments but in the future, looks forward to breathing room as enroll- ments decline and classes get smaller. The science staff was reduced from ten to nine teachers when Roger Thiede, former department chairman, was transferred to Central Alternative High School as a result of declin- ing enrollment and budget cuts. Marty also said that in the future, a review and updating of science courses, especially those for fresh- men, will be conducted to further keep pace with student needs. New text- books may be incorporated into the updated classes' material. 11 Concentrating on cutting into his pig is Mike Iozefowicz, '84, Photo by Dan Heinz. 21 Stacey Ball, '84 and Amy Hird, '84, dissect pigs for anatomy class.

Af- will if 1 4m Math ew Computer Course by Hillard Salas Hempstead High School's mathematics department offers a variety of courses to its students. These include classes in algebra, geometry, trigonometry and functions and Computer Programming I, a new course added to the math curriculum in 1982. Specific classes are geared for both low- and high- ability students alike. Basic instruction in algebra, geometry and applied math is offered for students with difficulties in math. Ad- vanced courses are also offered for higher ability math students. Computer Programming I, the math department's newest course, is designed to give students experience in solving problems in an organized manner, accord- ing to Gene Schaul, who teaches the class to approx imately one hundred ten students taking the course Experience in programming Apple computers is also given. Math is a very important part of the course and is used in virtually all the programming done. Games are just one of the ways math is used. The math is disguised in game program- ming, said Schaul. 101 X . ti ' tl

Photo by Michelle Wernimont Physical Education The Choice by Larry Billmeyer Physical education offers many classes which any student can take if they desire. The classes range from games of low to basketball to contract ski- ing. Many of the classes aren't required but classes like swimming and a type of dance class are required for graduation. A student must take one six-week course of either square dancing or some other form of dancing course every two years. To fulfill the swimming requir- is Yours ement a student must pass out bf advance swimming. Some of the courses are contract classes which a student fulfills his or hers requirements outside of school. Contract skiing for instance, the student goes to Sundown ski area and is taught by Sundown's professional instructors. One of the new classes is hunters' safety. In this course a student is taught gun safety and techniques of good hunting. In phys. ed. there is a class for any student. 103
