Everything from onion peels to light rays Tedious work isn ' t it, Richard Frye says to Berna- dette Zenone as they work to together on a chemistry experiment dealing with weights. Studying one of the many specimens provided in the biology classes are Ronnie Hubers and Lynne O ' Shea. Gosh! Who has rotten eggs in their lunch? That ' s not rotten eggs you smell; its just the chemistry class performing one of their many experiments. Students in the chemistry classes obtain the basic concepts of organic and inorganic chemistry. Many of us take for granted the things around us, but the students in physics class go one step further and investigate those things by studying matter and energy the two basic things in life. To prove many of the laws of physics, several different experiments are per- formed . Biology, which is a required subject, is the study of living things. The course is made up of two main parts: the study of plants, and the study of animals. General science, which is an alternative course for biology, is a general study of science .

At the first glance one might think this is a Greek or Chinese problem, but it ' s really a solid geometry pro- blem. Although it seems Greek to a person who is unfamiliar with the course. Dale Appleton explains it to the class with all surety of the solution. u ni y » 1 3 hours they will find perfection In advanced math demon- strations prove to be most useful. Ed Hartsell, trig student, uses a sphere in explaining his plan to solve the problem. 27
