Science Investigates the Wonders of the Universe . Mr. Antoine Hebert Mr. Steve Antoine Chairman Mr. Charles Bennett Mr. E. J. Concienne Mr. J. D. Concienne Mr. John Guilbeau Because science plays such an important part in our lives in this day and age, a knowledge of science is essential to the well-rounded, well- educated adult. Through the study of science, each student is given an opportunity to investi- gate the wonders of the universe. In general science he will learn the fundamentals and basic facts of many branches of science, in biology he will study the plant and animal kingdoms and the hiunan body. Chemistry includes the study of elements, chemicals, and compoundsg physics, the highest science offered at L.H.S., is the study of matter and motion. Both the biology and chemistry departments have excellent labora- tory facilities.

Mathematics is no longer merely one of the three R's. It is of great value in the highly technical world of today. The space program, the output of computers, and the idea of automation, all require the technical skill developed through mathematics. The subjects offered by the math department at L.H.S. are general math, Algebra I, geometry, Algebra II, Senior math, advanced math and trigonometry. Math is not only important because of the knowledge which one gains from the subject matter, but also because it trains a student to utilize his re- sources. i Miss Begnaud checks this student's problem.

Social Studies Allows Posterity to Profit From the Past . . .ew m. .21 H -' y , f ' siffgr , 4 M - ' looo . Miss Dorothy Blakely Chairman Mr. james Purslow Mr. james Carter M The idea that one may profit by knowledge of the mis- takes and successes of others, is indeed true. In the study of geography, students learn not only about the locations of different places, but also about the people who live there. Civics, which is required in the tenth grade, is the study of our government, and it also includes current affairs. Through the studies of world history and American, history, one learns about the actions of different people, and about the reasons which made them act as they did. - s R 15 sz. 1 K ' ll is fa., tt. as X X K. . kr , rs.
