Photo by Laura Mueller scientists Photo by Laura Mueller The science department has recently added a new college prep course to its curriculum, ad- vanced placement biology, more commonly known as A.P. Biology Il which was taught by Mr. Kim Kolbe and Mr. Rudy Emerick. The project has been deemed successful by many students presently enrolled, and Mr. Kolbe had predicted interest. Also added to the program was Physics Il, taught by Mr. Bill Stocker, and Chemistry Il, by Mr. Jim Benjamin. With the addition of these classes, it is hoped that students will become more science orient- ed and therefore better prepared for the college level. Copy by Julie Sucher 27

As each September brings a new scholastic year, many changes are made throughout our school. The changes made in the math department were few, but were definite im- provements. The calculus class, considered a college lev- el course, has been expanding since it was dropped in 1980. It now includes students transported from other schools. Also this year, was the addition of a new teacher, Mrs. Debbie Horne. She served the dual purpose of being both a math and a physical education instructor. Students have benefitted from her classes of pre-algebra and general math.

Along with a printer and a single disk drive, students learned how computers are made useful in the business world. Classes that used the computer were business machines, senior office practice, and typing Il. As students became involved with the com- puter, the traditional business classes contin- ued to be strong. Beginners learned to type as advanced students worked on improving their skills. All sophomores took the required con- sumer education. Several other business classes were shorthand, bookkeeping, business communication, and retailing. | Copy by Gina Bixler
