7:40 | A ake up and Smell the coffee The typical overwhelming smell of tne science hall seemed to cover the entire upper half of the school. Whether tne biology classes were dissecting worms or the chemistry classes were using Butanic acid, the smell permeated everything. The variety of science classes seemed able to please almost everyone. The classes ranged from physics to botany zoology. The only required science class that was taken during the senior year was health. Senior Jon Fondi said, I like the filmstrips, the movies, and kick- ing back. Health was a very infomative class concerned with nutrition, sex education, and the human body. Other science classes were biology, botany zoology, and AP biology. All classes dealt with animal and plant life, growth, and change. AP biology had a few ad- justments during the second semester since the teacher. Dr. Slaby, took another job. Second semester the class was moved to zero hour. The physics and human anatomy classes attracted college-bound students. Though each class was not related, there was more work and demand involved in these classes. by Kim Smith Mike Gentry acts lil e a choking victim while Victor Perez tries practicing the Hemlich Maneuver during fourth period health class with Mr. Grange. 1, V- j. y • During Mr. Neighbors ' tirst period physics class Andrea LaNave and Wen- dy Merrill giggle ai they work together on a worksheet.

These students maintained a 3.4 grade point average or better to form the National Honor Society. The meetings were held in the drama room which gave students a place to listen to speakers on the first Monday of every month. Speakers were members of the community or nearby communities who spoke on topics that were to help students understand their pro- fessions, work, and businesses, and also to help plan for college. Junior Scott Nowlin said, I think the best speaker was the CPA because she really seemed to enjoy her job ana seemed real knowledgeable about her field. The members didn ' t just listen to speakers all year. Tney also raised money for the club. During Valentine ' s Day balloons were sent in twos to sweethearts and friends. The money from the balloon sales went to a scholarship fund that went directly to a special member. We planned all the fund raisers and picked the speakers; it was great being an officer and meeting new people, said Senior Lisanne Gammell. lay Hanses listens intently while Toby Eck looks to see what the interruption is v hile eating lunch at a meeting.

' m -baboratory Language - The tardy bell rang, and thirtv students sat staring at the blank blackboard while Mr. Hunter took roll. This was the daily ritual for the first period chemistry class. Some had problems staying awake, paying attention, and getting into the mood of listening to confusing lectures about organic chemistry. Many had fun listening to Mr. Hunter ' s aah-mm lec- tures. Students agreed Mr. Hunter was a good teacher. Senior Don Works said, I like Mr. Hunter as a teacher because he is so lax in class. Another part of the class that some students enjoyed but others didn ' t was the many different labs. The labs ranged from testing Boyle ' s Law to trying to find out what an unknown mixture was. lunior Jim Elliot said, My favorite lab was when we did the odor lab that made a whole bunch of different fragrances. Students took chemistry for many dif- ferent reasons: a science credit was needed; their friends took the class; the teacher was popular; it was a require- ment for college. I took chemistry because I needed it to fulfill my college prep requirement, and I didn ' t want to take human anatomy, said Junior Rene Martinez. by Kim Smith Don Works, Spencer Mellum, Trishd Smith and Holly Kauffman test whether a compound will burn in pure oxygen in first penod chemistry class.
