The class parlicipales in groups and did several exhibits. THIS BETTER NOT BLOW UP IN MY FACEV Tim Crank intensely studies the neiv concoction he is in- venting. Sometimes color change is a lot nicer than odors. Ugh! Dissection Dissection! Students ex- claimed as tfiey thought of the horror that lay ahead! Al- though many students dread- ed the idea of dissecting an- imals, such as fetal pigs, they found it to be a little better than they expected. The ex- perience proved to be a val- uable tool in understanding the science world. Many interesting experi- ments and lab projects made science a bearable and some- times even fun subject. In the middle of a lab. Freshman Kim Hosek admits that her dissec- tion experiment wasn ' t as bad as she expected. I expected the worst, and when we got to worthing on the actual project. I really became interested in learning all I could. Science is one of those nec- essary evils everyone must en- counter in their lifetime. How- ever, despite the dread, many ACADlMICf students are quite comfortable in laboratory surroundings. Seniors Krista Lebo and Rox- anne Brown were anxious to find out their new assignment as they reached the end of an- other. Science can really be fun. if you take it seriously and put forth a little extra effort, you will probably find that you start looking forward to your labs and experiments. Junior Belinda Lacayo said. Science teacher Linda Ashleman was planning to fur- ther her science career even more as she returned to col- lege to become a doctor. Al- though her students were sad that she is leaving the teaching profession, they were enthusi- astic about her goal. Students described her as remark- able , brilliant , and a lot of fun to be around. Robin Fiewmjin •. ii LomM Real WHO GAVE ME THIS LOCKER? Linda Garcia struggles to see the numbers on her lock- er.

LENDING A HELPING HAND. Cc( il Vcisque helps nut d trou bled Marcus Gracey. Teachers are always there to help when you need it. Charleen Peasce History: Is if repeated? ; It was an intense moment that many awaited for a long time. The whiteness of the pa- per, how new it all looked. The writing written with such neat- ness. Men all around the room anxious for the moment, signed, one by one on the pa- per which gave us all a new direction in life, it was the Dec- laration of Independence. History always taught me about the past. I enjoyed reliving the events that made it historical. Senior Chandra Theis said. This past year students, as well as teachers, were able to have the history classes closer together which made it easier for both. All the history classes are found in the same module which makes it much easier for us teachers. Coach Lang- ston Williams said. Studying history has always been a way to escape the real world and go into another time and place. History is found all over the world in dif- ferent places which students have been able to find out. Trips all over the world were arranged for students who might enjoy finding out more into depth the history. Taking these trips will fur- ther knowledge a student on what that place is and was all about. Coach Williams said. Every year a history fair is held and many students went to state. The History Depart- ment thinks up a theme in which they want their students to develop their projects from. They are Judged and then go on from tfiere. Being in the History Fair taught me a lot about the topic I was writing on: it ' s a fun thing to experience whether you make it all the way to state or not. Chris Markle said. Taking History is a require- ment in school, and it is a very worthwhile one. Todd Cielencki academics: dcadjt-m c ACADEMICS Acadeh-cs History Department by Melissa Sargent .
