 Say, what? Dale Harris and Mindy Stokes It's right here somewhere. Marideth Post and observe Mr. Domeyer's models. Leah Lahmann look at the gills. You hold it! says Kassia Roettger to lab partner Michelle Habitz. Jaws '86 Where in Oroville could you find a shark? In the Forebay? No! In an Oroville High Biology class! Dissecting Squalis acanthia, the scientific name for a sand shark, and the studying of the human anatomy and physiology prepared students for several activities and two field trips. The major activity they participated in was the dissection of the feline, or common cat. This dissection took about three weeks to accomplish. There were two field trips taken during the year. The first was to Sutter Memorial Hospital where students observed open-heart surgery and the uses of the electron microscope. The second trip was to the Exploritorium in San Francisco. Using the knowledge acquired in BSCS Biology and Chemistry, students in Advanced Biology learned to work on projects and develop their own labs. Students in this course received honor units and credits toward their college careers. This class also offered a hands-on experience in dissection and internal organ systems and parts. With Mr. Domeyer at the helm, this class became challenging and detailed. It was a rewarding experience for each student to have participated in Advanced Biology. Smile for the camera! Mindy Stokes helps the shark smile.

For most of them, this was the first exposure to American culture that they have experienced They all agreed that coming to a new country was very scary, but also exciting. Making friends was difficult because of the language barriers, but eventually the barriers were broken down by shining personalities eager to learn about the American way of life.
