Science To Graduate In order to graduate from high school you must complete two years of science. One year must be a life science and the oth- er a lab science. Life sciences con- sist of the following: life science, biology, marine science, and physiology. Lab sciences include: chemistry, advance placement chemistry, physics, and physical science. Biology and chemistry are the two basic classes that most stu- dents choose to take. Life science and physical science are survey courses of biology and chemistry. Some universities, however, re- quire students to take physiology, physics, or a. p. chemistry. In a. p., you really just dig deeper. Now there is a lot of x ' stuff to solve for, David Waldron said about the comparison of chemis- try to a. p. chemistry. Teachers like what they teach and make it fun for the students. Labs are done in all of the classes, so that there is a way to under- stand and experience what is be- ing taught. tf ' Kia mM B 1 Top row: Mr. Collins, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Cullen, Mr. Lambert, Mr. Pestolesi Front row: Mrs. Olsen, Mr. Wynkoop, Mr. Carpenter, Mr. Adams 208 Academics

Key To Communication »=) Bonjour! Hola! Guten Tag! Welcome to foreign lan- guage court ' 86. As you well know, an education in three differ- ent languages was offered here at Estancia, French, Spanish, and German. Will we ever use our knowledge in another language in the future? I might, but chances are I ' ll only have to know the basic words, stated Gloria Tan. I plan to attend a school in Trance after high school, said MaryAnne Mosher who is in her second year of French. And being able to speak fluent French will sure come in handy. ' To graduate from high school, students need to have completed one full year of any subject from the fine arts. Since a foreign lan- guage is a fine art, students may choose to take a foreign language as a requirement for graduation. For college entry, two full years of a foreign language is usually re- quired. So Au Revoir, Adios and Auf Wiedersehen for now, and re- member that foreign language is our key to communication. 210 Academics
