CALCULATIONS AND For those who on|oy the challenge of solving an algebraic equation or completing an intricate physics experiment, fcast Side has provided each student with opportunities to do such assignments while continuing to expand their interests. The math department with its friendly and very competent teachers make any type of math class more than just mere lines and angles. These courses trigger our interest and knowledge of numbers and their importance in our ever changing world. We learn how digits can come together to solve questions and help formulate new ideas. Whether math majors or not. we can not forget Mrs. Salagaj's Algebra classes and her ability in making numbers come alive or the interesting discussions on angles in Mr. Trimarco's Geometry class and the sleepless nights doing homework for Mrs. DiPiazza's period 3 CalculuSi these will always stand out in our minds as interesting and challenging experiences. For those who wish to mix chemicals and experiment with different formulas the physics and chemistry labs offer much opportunity. Remember the day we had to disect the frog in Ms. Gonnelli's Biology class, one true scientist” would do the operation while friends held their noses and squirmed? In physics lab we share the work and carefully boil the water to the correct temperature to complete experiment »36. Mr. King's favorite, and we listen with interest as Mr. Andraous lectures on Newton's laws and the nature of acceleration. In our math and science classes we are given the chance to become a mad scientist, research assistant, chemical engineer, and computer analyst even if it is only for a short 45 minutes each day.

Designers and Writers A challenging (till life to capture on canvas . There are certain times in our lives when we wish to develop our talents and we begin to explore the available options which will enable us to do so. For those of us who are artistically talented, we find enjoyment in the various art classes. There, we are able, with the help of our teachers, to express our unique skills and develop our abilities. We may enter our drawings and paintings in contests, such as the Newark Brotherhood Poster Contest. Newark Project Pride, and Newark Teen Arts. In our English classes, we are given the opportunity to explore a different world • that of literature and creative writing. Through reading books by such famous authors as John Steinbeck. Arthur Miller. Ernest Hemingway, and William Shakespeare, we are able to broaden our views and ideas on different sublets. In addition, our English classes help us to improve our writing skills. This becomes useful when we decide to express our thoughts and opinions by participating in essay contests like the V.F.W.'s Voice of Democracy, the Newark Brotherhood writing competl tion. and the Optimist Oratorical Contest. It is without a doubt that these classes play an important part in our high school life. Note , note and more note M - Academic Art tngli«h
