Science Growth Due To Fruit Flies99 THE YEAR OF the rat ended and the year of the fruit fly began. This year, Biol- ogy II students spent ten weeks on the types and genetics of fruit flies. Biology II was a many-faceted course that seemed to be very popular with both the teachers who taught the course and the students who took the course. Through new courses and other changes, there was vast progress in the Science Department. Although funds were lacking, teacher perseverance helped the growth of the de artment. Biochemistry, the chemis- try of ife, was rejected because of a lack of district funds. Except for regular chemistry one of the two labs were omitted, allowing each teacher to teach an additional class. This year Harrisonis Science Department incorporated a new class into their curricu- lum. Basic Biology was a class for non-sci- ence majors who wished to complete their graduation requirements of two semesters of science. Mr. Tom Shalla, the teacher of this course, was also the head of the depart- ment.
