Science a td ‘TPt t l There was excitement in the Science and Math courses this year. Ms. Gawrys, a new teacher, taught General Science, Biology I, Biology II. For the first time in several years, Biology II students dissected cats. The cats were chosen because of the similarity between the anatomy of a human and a cat. Tami Abernathy, a senior, said, It didn't bother me to dissect cats. Mr. Partezana taught General Science, Biology I, and Chemistry. In Chemistry students got a hands on approach to many chemicals, some of which were dangerous. Mr. Partezana said, Every precaution is taken when we work with dangerous chemicals. In Business Math, taught by Mr. White, the students learned to figure everyday mathematical situations. Mr. Fields taught The newest member of the faculty, Ms. Gawrys, is preparing to teach her class with authority. General Math and Algebra I. This was Mr. Patton's final year at CHS teaching Algebra II, Geometry, Advanced Math, and Physics. Two years ago a special program was initiated for furthering students math development. Due to this special program it was the first time in several years sophomores were in Geometry. There will be an extra math course offered in two years for students who have had all the math courses available. Retiring teacher, Mr. Patton, works hard to make this year his best. Senior Jane Ann Freese reluctantly makes the connection between the cat and the human's anatomy. One of the cats used in Biology II shows the wear and tear of the students' explorations. 16 Academics
