Science and Math are closely related courses A fundamental knowledge of biology begins with the study of the operation of the microscope. As the year progresses, stu- dents examine plant and animal cultures. The study of plant life is completed with a leaf collection while an insect collection finishes off the study of animal life. These mid-term students un- der the guidance of Mr. Smith, head of the Science Department, work with the most modern equipment. After a whole day of teaching classes, teachers are tired, too. Mr. Griffith, sur- prised while getting a minutes rest, is as tired as many students often are. Robert Carr— attended University of Toledo, IU, Oregon State University, and Butler, MS,- Fred Lemley — attended Central Normal College, IU, Butler, Purdue, and Miami University, MS ; Justin Rehm— attended Hanover, IU, Ball State, and UCLA, MAT; Barton Richardson— attended Rose Poly, Indiana State, and Pur- due, BS. Every Howe student is compelled to have four credits in both mathematics and science as a requirement for gradu- ation. Many pupils find these four credits only a minimum, and go on to further their majors in either field. All Howeite graduates have taken algebra and biol- ogy. These courses are offered to freshmen and sophomores. Further mathematics and science courses are elected by the student. Students find the fields of mathematics and science closely related. Principles of chemistry and physics are direct- ly connected with certain aspects of modern math. Likewise, pupils who find math easy and interesting think the same of science courses. Along with elementary math and science, Howe offers a wide selection of advanced courses for the able student. These studies are necessary for the college-bound pupil 24

dealing with formulas and applications The math department presents informative material to students, expanding their knowledge of numbers. Math teachers are Mrs. Smuck, Miss Wilcox, department head, Mr. Limbley, Mr. Carr, and Mr. Rohde.
