MATH AND SCIENCES School is anything but boring when you have Mrs. Ball’s biology class. Think of all the fun times you have memorizing chemical equations like CftHp0( + H,0 + E = A dog with a wart on his nose. And how about the way you taught yourself shorthand just to keep up with quick-draw Ball. And what about that enticing scent of formalde- hyde mixed with vital organs. Pig’s feet perhaps?? Before you get the privilege of disecting the pigs, you first must prove yourself worthy by mastering the techniques on grasshoppers, crayfish, worms and the amphibious creature — the frog. If you are able to maintain your sanity through the first year, you have a chance to torture yourself for two more years. If biology doesn’t discourage you, try your hand at chemistry or physics. Mr. Dunfee has a unique style of teaching. (Unheard of at any teaching facility we know of.) He doesn’t very often lose his cool, but when he does, it becomes a hot situation ... Top: !. Sally Ball, Biology. Bottom: 1. Senior Advanced Math (for the brave!) Kim Hall, Janet VanDyke. Rita Sylor, Dan Gwinn. 2. Page after page of notes can get boring. Roger McKibben. 3. Your heart is in your arm??? Theresa Ackerman and Pam Willis. 4. The calculator comes in handy. 5. Mr. Dunfee listens earnestly to questions asked by the class.

SPECIAL GUIDANCE AND RESEARCH library (li-bra-ri), n. an ar- ranged collection of books; the building where such a collec- tion is kept. Well, we don’t have a whole building; one room maybe. And it sure isn’t organized, but yet Mrs. Clark knows where every book is. She has a multi- tude of helpers and she is con- stantly trying to better the li- brary, in some way or another. We also have a large visual aids department which Mrs. Clark takes great pride in. Top: 1. Maggie McCuskey, Special Education, Coach. 2. Jane Clark, Li- brarian Media Specialist. Bottom: 1. I’m breaking out of here. Are you with me? 2. You want me for a pin-up boy?? Donald Preston. 21

Ever wonder why the wind blows, or how an air- plane stays up in the air? You may not know it, but these are a few of the things that you learn about in gen- eral science. 2 + 2 = ? If you don’t know the answer, you had better find Mr. Sfakianos fast and get into one of the math classes. There is a wide selection: General Math, Business Math, Alge- bra I II, Geometry, and Senior Advanced Math. Take your pick, they all teach you that the answer is 4. (or is it 5?) Top: 1. Gary Dunfee, Chemistry, Physics, Science. 2. Susan Chees- man. Advanced Math, Geometry, General Science, Business Math. 3. Sharon Ervin, Algebra, General Math. Bottom: 1. Disecting a pig in Biol- ogy. Sherry Shiltz, Nancy Cross. 2. So you didn't even attempt to do your homework. 3. Arc all those plants legal? 4. Eric Bobo. 5. Ev- eryone has an opinion. 6.
