Atom Dusters Publish Science Paper Howe offers a varied program of science courses for interested students. Freshmen may enroll in phys- ical science, a course concerned with the basics of chemistry and physics. Sophomores are required to take biology. This two semester course is divided into Zoology and botany. To pass each semester, it is essential that pupils make insect and leaf collec- tions. College bound iuniors and seniors find chemistry a valuable choice. Chemistry, a laboratory science, discusses structural make up of matter, chemical identification, and classification of elements. Students interested in receiving a maior in science may select physics in their senior year. Specific laws and chemical properties are the fundamentals of this course. Howeites enrolled in physics may also place advanced biology and chemistry on their schedules to further their science major. Mr. William Smith heads this department. Mr. Richard Hammond, physics teacher, ponders over some reading material during a quiet moment in his busy schedule. ATOM DUST-FRONT ROW: S. Smith, K. Romeril, K. Romano- vich, G. VanCleave, R. Lamb.
