Junior Kelly Jube stated, ul felt really good about taking this trip, its one of my favorite places to go! Nov. l8th stu- dents were invited to view Halley's Comet at Stewards Observatory. ln addition the class heard a guest speaker on U.F.O.'s. The average enrollment in each class was about 32 which was an increase from last year. There were some problems because there were too many students and not enough microscopes, computers and storage space. All science classes purchased books this year. Biology students had a lab book and Earth Science had an activity book. The newest available equipment was the addition of an Apple computer and printer which helped teachers in their paper work.
