GHS Offers Wide Range of Math Science In the Gillespie school system, the high school student finds there is a series of math and sciences courses in which he may enroll. At the Benld Attendance Center, Mrs. Ste- phanie Sheridan instructs general math courses, while Mr. joe Eisman is the Algebra instructor. Mr. Charles Korunka, general science and biology instructor, is also a faculty member of Benld Attendance Center. In Gillespie, Mr. James Rolando, Mr. Alvin Wilkening and Mr. Robert Sedcrwall are the math instructors. Mr. Wilkening and Mr. Sederwall, along with Mr. Norman Is- mari, teach the Science courses at GHS. This year, Mr. Rolando was assisted by Mr. Larry Testa of Blackburn. He took over the class as student teacher during the last quarter. The math courses range from general math to advanced mathematics and calculus, while the science courses range from general science to advanced physical science and ad- vanced biology. Students of math and science find the courses very inter- esting. Through the use of classroom studies and experi- mentation, the student is able to broaden his scope of knowledge.
