Biology students are fas- cinated by the study of a worm ' s digestive system. Mr. Staddon examines the incision techniques followed by Mary Ellen Cross and Chris Metallic. Biology: Unlocking the Secret of Life No one at Ritter has ever had trouble finding room 101, the Biology Lab. The infamous omnifarious smells, that creep under the door and escape into the halls, are signs that no one with all five senses could possible ignore. Experi- ments with gerbils and white rats in wire cages; the dissecting of sharks; and the boa constrictor who hides in the Chemistry Lab all add to the general hub-bub. Retrieving the boa constrictor from the Chem- istry lab where it had been hiding, Mark Armstrong, Mr. Staddon, and Joe Stevens grasp the snake to prevent further escapes.

Mechanical Arts Designs Future The two courses in Ritter ' s Mechanical Arts Department, mechanical drawing and shop, are projected into the future. Mechani- cal drawing is essential toward an engineer- ing career, and students in shop learn some of the fundamentals of working with wood. There is a distinct advantage in being able to design one ' s house and to be able to build some of its furnishings. Mr. Lucas coaches Kris Ringwood, the one and only girl taking the course, on a design of modern mechanical drawing skills. Tim Strange, Steve Sabo, Tom Weaver, Rick Strong, and Chuck Heyob look for flaws in the craftmanship of a bookcase, one of the many projects turned out by the shop class.
