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.

ath Challenging If 2y plus 2x equals 2xy, then what does x equal? First.Year algebra students practice solving equations at the board. Mathematics is a vital part of Howe's academic program. For the new freshmen on the academic di- ploma, Algebra I is the required math course, other- wise General Mathematics is usually taken. Other offered courses include Algebra ll, III, and IV, Ge- ometry l and II, Trigonometry, College Algebra, and Calculus. Outside-school math activities are carried on by the Subset Club. This club is specifically designed for the freshmen interested in mathematics. In this club, participants are able to learn new concepts and con- notations ot basic mathematic ideas. Mrs. Marie Wilcox heads the department. Mrs. Wilcox is director ot the Tenth Summer Institute for Teachers of High School Mathematics. An author of ive math text books, she is listed in the National and International Who's Who, In addition to these honors, Mrs. Wilcox has made speeches throughout the United States. Howe is proud of her achievements. Math Department head, Mrs. Wilcox, teaches advanced courses. Trigonometry, calculus, and college algebra are of- fered to advanced math students.
