Experiments, labs, and research are the three big words in our science classes, kindling interest in the stu- dents as they select their science courses. Eighth graders choose between IPS science and earth science. Tenth graders are required to explore biology, and eleventh graders get a swing at chemistry. Physics is of- fered to the seniors who wish to delve into advanced science. No matter what the course, the students learn to speak the science “lingo” and to operate the lab equipment. Veterans Mr. Robertson and Mr. Somers welcomed Mr. Kidder, Mr. Ogden, and Mr. Phillips to the Sci- ence Department. These five men teach CHS what science is all about.

HAVE A COOKIE . . . Harold Carpenter chalks up a few cookie points” as Mrs. Noel helps him with a math problem. Math Solved “Spinning Wheels” might well de- scribe students ' feelings in the math courses, since getting numbers they put down to come up with the right answers is a major problem. However, under the direction of capable instruc- tors, this major problem can easily be turned into a minor one. So, around and around go students and teachers in the game of numbers to see how the odds come out at the end of the year. Basic math. Algebra I, II, geometry, and advanced math offer each student, according to his talents and needs, a chance to explore the challenging world of mathematics. 21
