Douglas Cooper, Gabrielle Math Helps Freshmen Students had their ups and downs with general math, algebra, and geometry. Math class was fun and interest- ing for some freshmen students because of each good teacher. Because they did the same thing everyday math class was boring for other students. On Michigan-Ohio State color day, Mr. Rupp's classes had their own pre-game, game. The class was divided into two teams, Michigan and Ohio, based on your choice. Each person had to make a coordinate on a graph and after each fourth right answer the team gota point. Advanced math students who took algebra last year were allowed to take geometry this year. Geometry consists of using equations along with geometrical shapes to solve problems. General math was for students who weren't ready for the challenging problems of algebra. They worked on improving their math skills overall. Students learned to use the computer keyboard and software on the junior high's three Apple II computers. Mrs. Bacon quoted, i think that everyone should have an opportunity to operate the computer and some of its software however, this year it was not possible. 50 Mrs. Bacon gave a helping hand to Geoff Moore in algebra class.

Science students take two classes a year On all the different branches and varieties of science, 9th grade students get the chance to study two cata- gories, earth science and life science. These are taken each for a semester. The students pick the book in which they are interested. The students take earth and life science, So they are exposed to more science knowledge, and so they can get a broader science education, explained Mr. Bell, the science department head. To keep students interes- ted, experiments are done every day. The students' fav- orite part of life science is handling the animals. Their favorite part of earth science is doing ex- periments, shooting up rockets and calculating movements of the solar system. I enjoyed earth sci- ence the most when I got to shoot off rockets in the book What's Up, stated freshman, Michelle Tucker. In life science the students play an environment game. In this game the students take a roll and either are for or against a certain power. They play this game for two weeks then either go back to the books or play the uthree-mile island game on an Apple II E computer. At the end of the Hrst semester the students in earth science switch to life science and life science goes to earth science. On Halloween during science Wendy Miller works on an experlment.
