Spaniard Severo Ochoa graduated from the University of Madrid Medical School in 1929. He was appointed Guest Research Assistant at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Medical Research and Demonstrator and Nuffield Research Assistant at the University of Oxford in the 1930s and 1940s. In 1942 he was appointed Research Associate in Medicine at the New York University School of Medicine and there subsequently became Assistant Professor of Biochemistry and later Professor of Pharmacology and Biochemistry as well as Chairman of the Department of Biochemistry. In 1959, Severo Ochoa was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for his work on the synthesis of RNA. He continued research on protein synthesis and replication of RNA viruses until 1985, when he returned to Spain and gave advice to Spanish science policy authorities and scientists. Ochoa was a recipient of U.S. National Medal of Science in 1979. Severo Ochoa died in Madrid on November 1, 1993. This Hispanic Heritage moment was brought to you by the Health Academy.

Students if you are absent, remember that 5 unexcused absences in an annual course, or 3 unexcused absences in a semester course, will result in a no credit (N/C) for the class. Remember if you are absent you MUST bring a note and receive an admit to excuse your absence. DO NOT GIVE YOUR NOTE TO YOUR HOMEROOM TEACHER. Admits are issued in the Student Services Office prior to the start of school each day and during lunch and after school in the Main Office with Ms. Cheron. Do not be absent unnecessarily.
Students arriving tardy to school must sign in at the Tardy Center in the C Cafeteria. Students with excessive tardies will be required to serve an Administrative Detention. BE ON TIME!!!

The Principal’s Word of the Day is
MORTIFY (MAWR tuh FYE) adj. to humiliate
I was mortified when my father asked my girlfriend whether she thought I was a dumb, pathetic wimp.
