28 “Science is the effort to find out what to do with the universe and what to do in the universe.” (A.E. Wiggam) In that effort, science courses offered include: physical science, biology, chemistry, and physics. Although these courses were traditional, biology added a first: dissecting fish. According to Jean Sucha and Mary Lynn Ulrich, physics students, “All of our potential energy is converted to kinetic enery which we use to do our 5 X 1024 problems nightly.” Mathematical questions and theories were once again challenged by those participating in the wide range of math courses this year. The usual math classes were again offered. In addition. Computer Science made its debut at CC. It is a semester course opened to juniors and seniors who’ve had Algebra I and Typing. According to Mrs. Meiergerd, “Students learn to operate an Apple computer and to write simple programs in the BASIC language.” She further advises, “It is good for anyone interested in computers as a career or just for your own personal use.” As Kirk Kreikemeier and Keith Hugo discover the properties of an anhydrous salt, Rita Meiergerd and Barb Meister watch closely. advice of Sr. Francis on theorems and postulates in Geometry.
