Biology students must complete Biologically Speaking and Review Questions for every chapter. PV = nrT kept the CHS chemistry classes busy for a good part of the school year. Moles, quantitative analysis, and memorizing part of the Periodic Table were also persued by the juniors and seniors in chemistry. To prepare students for this course and physics, the other advanced science offered at Chamberlain, Mr. Frary and Mr. Merkwan led freshmen through an independent study program designed to keep them interested in science as well as informed on how our world works. The fourth science class offered was biology, a sopho- more level class that explored the inner workings of plants and animals. Plans to expand and diversify the biology pro- gram were underway throughout the year. David Heesch engages in one of the various ways in which experiment- al error is obtained. The interaction of matter and energy is investigated in many ways by Ronald Frary physics students. Millard Merkwan SCIENCE 9

A counting project kept the Algebra II and ad- vanced math students busy, for a week anyway. The idea was to count from 1 to 99 using the digit 4, four times in each number. To help, the common mathematical symbols including +, , and x were allowed in any multiple or combination. Mr. Olson, the math instructor, promised an “A for the quarter to anyone who could find a way to phrase 99 following all the rules. No one could. Mrs. Lois Kaltsulas, Algebra I teacher, also kept her students interested in the field of mathematics by introducing them to a world of x's and y's and unsolvable equations that really weren’t so bad—when somebody illus- trated the solution. General math and geometry, taught by Mr. Olson, rounded out the selection of math courses at CHS. Jody Balster abandons quadratic equations for a day to complete an im- portant grammar assignment. Dean Olson Mrs. Lois Kaltsulas Algebra I students explore the field of x's and y's with varying de- grees of interest. Mr. Olson explains the area of a triangle to geometry class. 8 MATH

Three new courses in literature and a new English teacher were added to the CHS English department. Classes in Shakespeare, science fiction, and mythology expanded the range of electives for the upperclassmen. Mrs. Nancy Shoen- hard entered the ranks of faculty in January after Mrs. Swen- son asked to be released from her contract to move to Woonsocket with her husband. Freshman are still required to take English I, but they did get new grammer books this year. Mrs. Keller, Mrs. Nankivel, Mrs. Winter, and Mrs. Cadwell also taught English courses. Mrs. Nankivel retired this year after 18 years of teaching at Chamberlain. Public speaking students read stories to the class to help them become less nervous about the audience. Nila Wagaman and Cindy Miller participate in a panel discussion for group communications. Deb Hutmacher and Laurie Swanson attempt an interesting creative writing assignment.
