The Science Department consists of many interesting and varied courses. Mr. Curtis Simmons, chemistry and phys- ics teacher, likes the factual aspects of these subjects. l like anything l can sit down with and analyze, he said, and added that he is always trying to learn new things. Mr. Simmons faced a challenging exper- ience last spring, when he replaced physics teacher Phillip Daar, who retired after 20 years at Flushing. Mr. Simmons claims that teaching physics is an experience he enjoys very much. Mr. Ronald Zanni, who teaches the new Advanced Placement Biology course, loves biology, because it's life. Everybody wants to know more about life in general, and has wondered about it. Earth Science has more practical applica- tions according to Mr. james Rohde, who teaches this subject. Earth Science is good for people who like to travel, he said, And we live in an age where people travel more than ever. It's for enjoying life. The science department offered A.P. Biol- ogy for the first time this year. A new addi- tion to the faculty was Dr. Raphael Widman, replacing Mrs. Muriel Harris, who retired in February. Mr. Mirza Baig also joined the staff of the Science Department. Mrs. Adele Hayden and Mr. Richard Baris are not teachers, but are our lab specialists. The responsibility of the lab specialists in- clude making sure we have enough HZSO4, HCI, test tubes, and other apparati during Bio, Chem, and Physics Labs. The most profound comment was made by Mr. Rohde, who said, Listerine is my favorite Gargoyle! T? ROBERT WEINBERGER cuRTis siMMoNs t RAPHAEL WIDMN I L. ti! I
