Mrs. Fagan, chemistry and biology instructor, writes out a request for needed lab and demon- stration equipment. Microscopes, slides, large scale models, test tubes, and chemicals are all necessary for students to explore the world of science. Pearl! No kiddin? Open it up, quick, I wanna see! Bill Moyer, Rhonda Scranton, and Jane Ducey begin the detailed dissection of a clam. Strong stomachs and stopped-up noses came in handy during the twice a week lab sessions. Tapeworm! It looks like sea weed to me! Sounds of shock and surprise fill the biology room as students dissect everything from cray fish to grass hoppers. Each advanced biology student performed a detailed dissection of his own fetal pig. Many the- ories and hypotheses were tested and accepted as both biology classes explored the early earth and its living offspring. Around the comer in chemistry, Junior scientists struggle to 'keep all the wheels turning' during class and lab work. The chemistry class started out the year by learning the basics of chemistry, bending glass, using the bunsen burners, etc., and, as chemi- cal know-how increased, worked up to the more difficult redox reaction equations.

Under the direction of Miss Ruby Leeds, the art course is now in its second year as an ac- credited class and three years are now offered. During the year art students worked with various medias including watercolor, oils, crayon, charcoal, pencil, color pencils, pastels, poster paints, art appreciations, and crafts. Their work was displayed for several organizations around the community, the Town and Country Art Show in Pittsfield, P.T.A., Barry Public Library, and Kiwanis Club.
