transferred from Marquette High I Nl School to Central because the sci- ence program is so excellent. The variety of courses, especially at the advanced and accelerated levels, and the highly trained faculty make it unique. - Pete Farrow ll entral's science department puts C forth a lot of emphasis on making classes fun. Although demonstra- tions illustrate concepts pretty well, I think labs are much more effective. Apart from that small point, I like the department. - John Lees Pol thene Pam - . . . To Barium and Bunsen Burners B rookfield Central science is a hallmark of excellence. How many other schools can boast of a greenhouse, an incubator, a 'adio lab, and a distilled water nachine? Our science curriculum is :omprehensive - there's something lor everyone. A student here at Cen- :ral can receive a thorough back- ground in Biology, Chemistry, Phys- cs, and Ecology. There are also advanced and accelerated courses in 'nost of the subjects covered. The science faculty is first-rate. Mr. Barnes, Mr. Uhren, Mr. Zimmerman, vlr. Gulrud, and the other five teach- the labs didn't smell so much from the experiments, l'd really enjoy sci- ence classes. There are quite a few students ers on the science team all have years of experience, coupled with personalities which allow them to work well with students. Sophomore Alison Snodgrass reveals, The teachers are nice, and they get along with the students. Also, they seem to be pretty fun. Along with fun comes work, though, and our science department is not soft when it comes to work. There are many laboratory exercises, along with class lectures and almost nightly homework. This can be enjoy- able, but there are also some unique complaints, such as Beth Pire's: lf who, despite smelly labs, are dedi- cated to science as a career. One such is junior Denise Toussaint, who says, I want to go into science after high school. I like the experimenta- tion and I feel l'Il have to do that alot in the career l'm working for. l'll also have to do a lot of observing and note-taking, so the science depart- ment here really helps me. So, whether you are studying sci- ence as a future career, or just learn- ing the rudiments of biology, the cur- riculum at Brookfield Central is of excellent quality and provides a memorable experience.
