From the President’s deskL a r r y V . T u r n e r , E d . D .

I am delighted to share my thoughts in this edition of the Angles Magazine, which features Mobile native and Harvard University Professor Dr. E. O. Wilson. This spring, ASMS will host the first book-signing event for his latest work, Letters to a Young Scientist. We are particularly enthusiastic about this because Dr. Wilson has included information about ASMS in a chapter of the book entitled “Most Likely To Succeed,” along with a photograph of two ASMS seniors, Allison Kam and Hannah Waggerman, engaged in a biology lab. Dr. Wilson has become a valued friend of ASMS and I know you will be impressed when you read about the accomplishments of this amazing man.

Allow me to also highlight a few areas that I feel deserve mention. The average ACT score of last year’s graduates was 28.4, which is the highest in our school’s history. Equally as impressive is the fact that last term nearly 70 percent of our students made the “A” or “A/B” honor roll. This good news is a testament to the inner drive I witness in our students to meet the high standards set by our faculty. I also believe that you will be impressed to read about senior Parker Owen’s latest invention, a prosthetic leg built out of old bicycle parts (Page 6). This is truly remarkable and exemplifies the innovative spirit on campus.

Likewise, Angles is filled with alumni news (Pages 7, 8, and 14-16), and I am always happy to hear about the many ways in which our graduates are making the world better. Although the ASMS experience for every class

of students is different, the mission of our school remains the same: provide a world-class education for some of Alabama’s best and brightest students.

I always refer to us as the ASMS “family.” I honestly feel that our school and our graduates operate much this way. Occasionally, we may have our differences but at the day’s end, we still care very deeply for one another and want what is best for the “family.” I commit to you that we will make every effort to continue to educate young men and women at the highest level possible. We will continue to strive to provide challenges that will allow our students to grow and attain knowledge, which will allow them to succeed and lead very productive, successful lives.

In closing, I want to wish two of our longtime faculty, Dr. Garvin Wattuhewa and Dr. Deborah Hoffman, the very best in retirement as they have chosen to end their service to ASMS after many years. We are indebted to both of them for their strong efforts to educate students at ASMS for over 20 years.

Seventeen-year-old Elizabeth Self bubbled in what she said was a guess on the last question of the science section of the ACT college entrance exam, just as time was being called.

She felt certain she’d missed the question. But she didn’t. In fact, she got that question and almost every other one correct, she learned two weeks later. And she’d done what fewer than 1 percent of ACT test takers accomplish. The senior at the Alabama School of Math and Science in Mobile scored a perfect 36, besting by two whole points the 34 she made as a junior. “I was pretty excited,” Self said of the day she got her results. “I went screaming to my family,” who didn’t understand at first how great of a feat that was. “They said, ‘What do you mean you made a 36? Was that out of 100?’”

Later, Self, who lives in the small northwest Alabama town of Hamilton, received a letter in the mail telling her how unusual it was to score a 36. And the president of the Alabama School of Math and Science, which takes in top students from across the state, called her family to congratulate them. To get a perfect score, a test taker can only miss two questions on the entire four-hour test, which has sections in English, math, reading and science. Self missed two questions on the math section. There’s also a writing section that does not factor into the composite score. Even though she attends ASMS, Self, who has a perfect 4.0 grade-point average, said math and especially physics are her “worst” subjects.

She’s on course to graduate “with distinction” in English and foreign languages from the school because, besides succeeding in the heavy college-level coursework in

math and science, she’s taken six extra classes apiece in both English and French. Self said she’d like to go on to college to study English and French, and to possibly teach one day. She’s never been to France, but she said she’d like to study abroad. She’s applying to eight colleges, with her favorite right now being Barnard College in New York City. That could change, though, depending on what scholarships she’s offered. Self said she almost didn’t even take the ACT again this summer. She was satisfied with her 34 last year, but her guidance counselor talked her into taking one more shot at it.

Self said she was drawn to attend the Alabama School of Math and Science on Dauphin Street in midtown Mobile because students there take their academics seriously. After one year at Hamilton High, she transferred to ASMS for her sophomore year, which is the first year offered at the public boarding school. Typically, 100 percent of the school’s graduates go on to college, most on some type of scholarship. “It’s a really challenging school, but a really awesome school, too,” Self said. “All of the students are college bound and have a lot of enthusiasm for academics.”

Self is president of the French Honor Society and the French Club at ASMS. She tutors other students in French, takes art classes in copper enameling, which she admitted she didn’t know a thing about until she was exposed to it. She’s on the scholars bowl team, in the history club, and in a swimming class. “I feel like I never want to stop learning about everything,” Self said. “I would like to always be learning something new. Except, I get tired of physics every once in a while, but you do what you have to do.”

Allison Kam is not only the Student Government Association President, but also an accomplished soccer player, an artist, and a musician. “I enjoy SGA because it allows me to make a difference for the student body,” she says. She is a member of multiple honor societies and Vice-President of BETA club. Last year she won the Alabama Brain Bee neuroscience competition. She is from Auburn, Alabama.

Alexandrea moseley has earned the nickname “Math Goddess” through her hard work tutoring classmates and other high school and elementary students in the Mobile area. She says, “I want to help others to love math.” While much of her time is spent volunteering in various study labs, she is also an active member of the community in other ways. Alexandrea is co-head Ambassador, co-editor of the yearbook, and a member of multiple honor societies.

Last summer, candice clark attended the Georgetown University Summer Law Institute where she participated in a mock trial and learned about how laws are adjudicated and administered. She is Secretary of the SGA and an Ambassador. Clark also participated in the Distinguished Young Woman Scholarship Program where she was 1st runner up and earned more than $2,000 in scholarships. “ASMS has opened the door to so many opportunities,” she says.

Freddy Argueta has served as an ASMS Ambassador, Treasurer of the Key Club, an SGA senior class representative, and Residential Life Support Team member, all the while, participating in various varsity sports. He says, “I do the things I enjoy, and it just so happens that I enjoy the activities and organizations ASMS has to offer.”

If you walk by the Auditorium and hear beautiful piano music, chances are, Jordan Danford is practicing. When he isn’t refining his piano skills, he’s in the art studio working on his AP Art portfolio. He is also the student chair of the math department and enjoys taking high-level organic chemistry classes. Danford plans to attend Auburn University, where he will pursue a pharmacy degree.

rachel lecomte has a love of the humanities. In her three years at ASMS, she ran the writing lab, edited the student news blog (The Firewire), and served as a teaching assistant to the history department. “The variety of humanities classes has really opened my eyes to different ways of thinking,” she says. She plans to attend the University of Alabama in the fall, where she has already earned 50 credit hours, thanks to transfer credits form ASMS.

As president of the Spanish Honor Society, paola capo initiated a fundraiser that raised over $2,000 for orphans in Nicaragua. Capo also tutors children in Mobile and is an Ambassador, SGA Treasurer, and Campus Life Committee Chair. She plans to study International Relations in college and continue to impact the lives of others. “ASMS has given me the opportunity to see myself as part of the larger picture and change the world in my own way,” she says.

Jose velazquez credits ASMS for transforming his personality. “I used to be so shy, but now I have confidence that will carry me well beyond high school,” he says. He is captain of the cross country team and was selected to the SATB Allstate choir. He has also applied to two military service academies.


Last year, seniors Alex Ketchum and Hollis DeLaney became the only Alabama students recognized by the Siemens Foundation as Semifinalists in their 2012 Competition in Math, Science, and Technology.

The duo assisted Steve McClellan of the University of South Alabama’s Mitchell Cancer Institute in identifying new drug compounds that kill resistant cancer cells. In a lab setting, they used a new robotic system to test concentrations of different drugs. Essentially, their findings could improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy.

“During the school year we came once or twice a week for about 3 hours and now we are working 40-50 hours a week this summer,” says Ketchum.

“We are very proud of these students,” says College Counselor Julie Hoffmeyer. “Although it is quite an honor to be recognized by Siemens, I believe that the overall experience of working in a real lab setting will serve them well for years to come. They have bright futures!”

From An old bike, a lEG IS borN

By Alexandrea Moseley

A broken-down, $20 thrift-store bike. One weekend. And a lot of ingenuity. That’s what it took ASMS senior Parker Owen to build a fully functional prosthetic leg.

“My idea takes a $20 bicycle and makes a simple but very functional prosthetic leg,” he says, demonstrating the device in the Physics lab before Robotics Team practice. “It is actually comparable to an $80,000 professional leg. With this, price is no longer as much of an issue. These legs also only take a few hours to assemble.”

Owen is seeking to patent his invention and is hopeful about how it can be used to help people. This summer, when he travels to Honduras on a mission trip, he plans to bring along several legs that will be given to people in need.

“Most prosthetics cost thousands,” says Owen. “But this prototype is relatively cheap and still has several functions, including sitting down and getting back up, as well as walking with a movable ankle ligament. With further testing, it could even be used to play soccer.”

Owen’s prototype took him about five hours to build, but now that he knows the right method, he believes he can build one in about three hours. In the process, nearly every part of the bicycle is used to produce a foot, movable ankle and knee, ligaments, and a sling to attach the prosthetic to the leg.

“I was amazed when I saw Parker demonstrate the leg,” says ASMS President Dr. Larry Turner. “He has a bright future and I cannot wait to hear about how his invention helps people.”


Class of 1993 graduate Poppy Moon earned an undergraduate degree from Centenary College of Louisiana and a Ph.D. in Counselor Education at the University of Alabama. She is currently an elementary school counselor and teaches as an adjunct faculty member at UA. She is also an author, illustrator, and creator of guidance books and games for Youthlight, Inc., a premier publishing house of counseling related materials.

How did you become an autHor?I found the guidance materials available to school counselors lacking. I thought, “I could do better!” So I created a game called Snoots Toots! A Kids Game of Empathy and Manners. It received a Dr. Toy award in 2010. Youthlight loved it, and I was asked to become a Master Designer for the company. I have written and illustrated numerous books and games for counselors.

tell us about your production company.In 2010, two of my friends and I started Out of This World Productions. Last year we shot our first video, “Good Friends/Bad Friends and How to Know the Difference.” Youthlight published the DVD and we are currently producing a second DVD.

How did asms impact your life?ASMS was the highlight of my teenage years. I realize what a unique experience the inaugural class enjoyed. The buildings were under construction and we were given hard hats. The sanctuary of the church was basically a hull, we only had one dorm, and we had fun finding all the secret nooks and crannies in the buildings. Our studies were rigorous, but we thrived under the tutelage of our professors. All of us were feeling our way through uncharted waters. Sometimes the water was precarious, but we managed to make it through two amazing years.

any advice for asms students?Don’t brag about your accomplishments. Others will notice and brag about you. Help others. Ralph Waldo Emerson said there is no greater joy than “knowing that one life has breathed easier because you have lived.”

AlUm’s mission: hElP ChIlDrEN


after you graduated from asms, wHat was your educational patH?I went to college at Yale University, where I double majored in Physics and Mathematics. After college, I spent a year doing physics research in France on a Fulbright fellowship, before returning to Yale for graduate school. I am graduating this year with a Ph.D. in physics and will soon start as postdoctoral researcher at New York University.

wHat are you researcHing now?My research is in computational neuroscience, a discipline that lets me apply my training in physics to important questions in biology. I build computer models that simulate how networks of neurons interact to support functions such as short-term memory. The hope is that computational modeling will help us to better understand not only how brains work, but also how processes break down in psychiatric disorders.

wHat is rewarding about conducting researcH?I enjoy being active in a global community of scientists who are passionate about their work. It’s rewarding to engage in an ongoing dialogue about scientific ideas with colleagues.

How did asms Help to prepare you for wHat you are doing now?ASMS taught me how to approach problems in an open-ended way, through both science and humanities classes. ASMS also taught me how to write with clarity, a skill I did not realize at the time would be so important to my career in science.

any advice for asms students?I’d advise students to explore the wide range of academic opportunities available at ASMS. In my own case, the diversity of science classes helped me to find my academic passions, and the diversity of humanities classes gave me a broad foundation of a liberal arts education that continues to serve me well.

In 2007, Microsoft Founder Bill Gates sounded an alarm over America’s competitive future. Testifying before a Senate Committee, he warned, “America’s young people must come to see science and math degrees as key to opportunity. If we fail at this, we won’t be able to compete in the global economy.”

Over the following years, America has struggled to gain ground against other countries in math and science education. While his somber prediction has, thankfully, not yet come true, the need for high quality, technically-focused education has never been more critical.

I am completely confident that Mr. Gates would feel at home among the corridors of the Alabama School of Math and Science. In fact, over the past two decades, seven ASMS students have earned Bill Gates Millennium Scholarships and 130 were national merit finalists.

ASMS continues to lead as one of the top ten public high schools in Alabama and among the top 200 public high schools in the nation, as ranked by Newsweek Magazine.

Science and engineering jobs have likely never been more in demand. A recent article in The Wall Street Journal noted that science and math majors are sometimes receiving multiple job offers.

I have spent the last decade in office working with Governors Riley and Bentley – and other state and local officials – recruiting high tech industries to our state to bolster our workforce and provide careers for young professionals with degrees in math and science.

I am particularly proud of the recent announcement of Airbus to locate its first North American jet aircraft assembly plant in Mobile. Beyond the thousands of jobs the new Airbus facility will attract to our area, the Gulf Coast is poised to become a new aviation center of excellence that will attract thousands more high tech jobs to the region.

ASMS will play an important role in contributing to the pool of science and technology graduates who will build this new Gulf Coast aviation corridor and make Alabama and America more competitive in the future.

I am honored to give my support to the Alabama School of Math and Science as it continues to foster a rigorous and robust science and math education for our young people. The future indeed looks bright for the ASMS.


Dr. Edward O. Wilson is one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century. In his long career, he has transformed his field of research—the behavior of ants—and applied his scientific perspective and experience to illuminate the human circumstance, including human origins, human nature, and human interactions. Wilson has also been a pioneer in spearheading efforts to preserve and protect the biodiversity of this planet. Wilson was born in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1929. Growing up in the countryside around Mobile, he was entranced by nature and all its creatures. While still in high school, Wilson discovered the first colony of fire ants in the United States. After earning a B.S. and M.S. in biology at the University of Alabama, he received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1955. In 1956 he joined the Harvard faculty. He has written ground-breaking books and articles on all of the above-mentioned subjects, and two of his non-fiction books, The Ants (1990, with Bert Hölldobler) and On Human Nature (1978), have won Pulitzer Prizes. His Letters to a Young Scientist will be published in April. Wilson, who has a keen interest in seeing ASMS students succeed, is planning to visit ASMS to hold an assembly and book signing in April.

Why did you decide to write Letters to a Young Scientist? EOW: I had the experience and could see that advice and encouragement for your scientists are badly needed for the country.

a CoNvErSaTIoN wITh Dr. EDwarD o. wIlSoN


This year, ASMS biology students are reading your book, The Diversity of Life. Why is it so important for young people to understand more about biodiversity? EOW: Essentially, biodiversity is the rest of life. Every scrap of information we can acquire on each one of the 1.9 million known species of plants, animals, and microorganisms is valuable. And we need to discover the estimated 6 million still unknown. Every species on Earth has been adapted by thousands to millions of years of evolution to the particularities of the environment in which it lives. Its genotype is different from that of all other species. The traits its genes prescribe are also unique, in biochemistry, anatomy, physiology, and behavior, and in the way it interacts with other species, and serves the ecosystem it inhabits. Each species, in short, is a living encyclopedia of how to survive on planet Earth. Here in Mobile, we appreciate living near the Mobile Delta, which is one of the most biodiverse regions on our planet. Do you have any ideas as to how we should treat this land differently? EOW: Yes. In fact, I’m a member of a group studying how to make the Delta and Red Hills to the north of it a new national park. Additionally, a number of years ago the E. O Wilson Foundation was started and its mission is to promote worldwide understanding of the importance of biodiversity and of the preservation of our biological heritage. Among our projects is the development of educational materials in life science for high school and undergraduate students and the general public that will improve global understanding of the nature and diversity of all of life on Earth and why it must be conserved. What is it like to work at Harvard and to win two Pulitzer Prizes? EOW: Difficult, competitive, impersonal, lacking in Southern culture and warmth, but a good place to work. I hope ASMS graduates will consider it, whether at the undergraduate or graduate level. Why do you think a school like ASMS, which emphasizes math and science, is important to the future of Alabama? EOW: Student for student, I think it’s the best possible institution imaginable for Alabama. Many students worry about climate change. Do you have any thoughts on this somewhat controversial subject? EOW: I have to correct your question. It’s not controversial anymore, not among qualified scientists. The question now is how to slow and cope with it.

Like many ASMS students, you were born in Birmingham, but also spent a lot of time in Mobile. How did your Southern roots impact your research and your career? EOW: Profoundly and lastingly. As I entered science at an early age, as have the ASMS students, I was drawn decisively to the natural world, which abounds in such variety and beauty in the Southeast. Talk a bit more about biodiversity and the impact of climate change on our planet.

EOW: Unlike the rest of science, the study of biodiversity has a time limit. Species are disappearing at an accelerating rate through human action, primarily habitat destruction but also pollution and the introduction of exotic species into residual natural environments. I have said that a fifth or more of the species of plants and animals could vanish or be doomed to early extinction by the year 2020 unless better efforts are made to save them. This estimate comes from the known quantitative relation between the area of habitats and the diversity that habitats can sustain. These area-biodiversity curves are supported by the general but not universal principle that when certain groups of organisms are studied closely, such as snails and fishes and flowering plants, extinction is determined to be widespread. And the corollary: among plant and animal remains in archaeological deposits, we usually find extinct species and races. As the last forests are felled in forest strongholds like the Philippines and Ecuador, the decline of species will accelerate even more. In the world as a whole, extinction rates are already hundreds or thousands of times higher than before the coming of man. They cannot be balanced by new evolution in any period of time that has meaning for the human race.

Why should folks care?

EOW: What difference does it make if some species are extinguished, if even half of all the species on earth disappear? Let me count the ways. New sources of scientific information will be lost. Vast potential biological wealth will be destroyed. Still undeveloped medicines, crops, pharmaceuticals, timber fibers, pulp, soil-restoring vegetation, petroleum substitutes, and other products and amenities will never come to light. It is fashionable in some quarters to wave aside the small and obscure, the bugs and weeds, forgetting that an obscure moth from Latin America saved Australia’s pastureland from overgrowth by cactus, that the rosy periwinkle provided the cure for Hodgkin’s disease and childhood lymphocytic leukemia, that the bark of the Pacific yew offers hope for victims of ovarian and breast cancer, that a chemical from the saliva of leeches dissolves blood clots during surgery, and so on down a roster already grown long and illustrious despite the limited research addressed to it.

The Mobile-Tensaw River Delta is a biodiversity treasure within a few miles of ASMS. To help explain this treasure to

students from across the Gulf Coast, three different groups have awarded ASMS more than $16,000 to make a short, educational film to be shown at the 5 Rivers Delta Resource Center in Spanish Fort, AL. The donations came from Legacy Inc. ($4,333), Alabama Humanities Foundation ($2,243) and ExxonMobil Foundation ($10,000). The movie, entitled “The Science of the Delta,” will educate elementary- and middle-school students on the value of the second largest river delta in the United States. ASMS students will produce and star in this film under the direction

of the project leader, Kevin Dolbeare, who also teaches chemistry and biology at ASMS. “We hope to teach younger students the different ecological regions of the Delta and how they support different wild life species,” says Dolbeare, who hopes to finish the film by the start of next year’s school year.

Part of what has made the project so interesting is the fact that students have gone on location in the Delta. “I have really enjoyed spending time in the Delta because it brings everything we learn

about in class to life,” says sophomore Brandon Pham, who has been helping with the project. “I truly hope this project teaches other students about the importance of our Delta and its biodiversity.”

The ASMS Parent Association was established in 1991. Being a member and supporting the Parent Association is a means of giving to the school something in exchange for the excellent education the children receive, while at the same time enhancing their school environment.

The purpose of the Parent Association is to sponsor and participate in activities that benefit the greatest number of students while supporting the school; to promote and maintain a beneficial and productive relationship between parents of ASMS students, its faculty, staff, alumni and Board of Directors; and in general promote and support the educational endeavors of ASMS.

The Parent Association supports the school in many ways. It provides chaperones for numerous activities such as Geekfest, Winter Formal and Prom. ASMS is diligent in requiring an adult presence at extracurricular activities to ensure students have a fun and safe time, and the PA is gladly willing to provide these volunteers. Twice during the year, the PA provides a special luncheon for the faculty and staff to enjoy. The PA also provides parent helpers during Registration Day in the spring and Move In Day in the fall This year the PA awarded the ASMS Staff approximately

$41,500. How did we do this? Through the $35 PA dues and proceeds from our only fundraiser, “The Dragon Drawdown.” All monies collected go directly back to the school to help buy new books, laptops, equipment, sports uniforms, etc. We collected $2,485 in dues (71 families out of 250 participated) and $26,146 was generated from the Drawdown. We also received many monetary gifts from parents and well as a $5,000 gift from the ASMS Foundation Board. Where did the money go? Awards were granted based on “wish lists” from each department:

science department, $18,000; technology, $8,172; band/music, $5,204; english/foreign language, $2,550; maintenance, $2,500; security, $1,500; library, $1,500; Hall staff, $500; physical education, $350; finance, $500; and special project fees, $500.

The Parent Association is honored to give back anyway we can, be it physically or financially. We as parents and members of the PA realize how fortunate our children are to be educated by this fine institution. To join or volunteer please call the Development Office at 251.441.2171.

Ann and Andrew Braswell, Parent Association Presidents

The 2012 Drawdown Winners were: James Haas, Anna Lauridsen, Diane Bernasconi, David and Diane Iyegha, Phillip Hendon, ASMS (anonymous ticket holder), Long Leaf Land and Timber, Jordon Garner, Brandon Jackson, and David Warren. Many of these ticket holders donated their winnings back to ASMS.

Thank you! The Alabama School of Math and Science is honored to recognize the individuals, corporations, and foundations whose contributions have supported our work during the last fiscal year (October 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012).

Below is a list of donors from last year. We deeply appreciate every gift and regret that space constraints prevent us from listing every generous act of kindness and in-kind support from all our donors. We look ahead to 2013 and the next decade in anticipation of a new phase of growth and vision for the future of our school.

In September, we welcomed community leaders from a variety of major education and employment industries in our area to help begin crafting our vision for the next 20 years. Their valuable input will help determine the future planning for curriculum and facilities in response to the potential future employment for the best and brightest students in Alabama. The ASMS Foundation is actively building on the strong success of the past to increase the scale and pace of support for the future. Your continuing support is critical, and we appreciate every gift – from the smallest to the largest – as we each must invest whatever we can to ensure the future of the best public high school in Alabama.
