Daily Learning Mrs. Donna Pischke came back to Woonsocket for her third year. This year she is teaching computer science, biology, physics, and eighth and ninth grade science. Mrs. Pischke says biology is her favorite class and she doesn't understand why the students don't like it as much as she does. For 16 years, Mr. Lindy Peterson has taught all the math courses offered at WHS. His classes for 1986-87 were senior math, seventh and eighth grade math, geometry, algebra, and advanced algebra. He says his favorite class to teach is ge- ometry, because it's the most chal- lenging for the students. In his spare time, he is quite active with the Na- tional Guards and hunting.

Among his classes are seventh and eighth grade history, American government, American history, and elementary P.E.
