Sciences contain the key to the future. Math And Science Biology, Earth Science, and Chemistry are just a few of the challenging courses offered to students. Earth Science includes studies about outer space, weather, minerals, and land topography, which are invaluable to future geologists and engineers. Biology pro- vides a change-over to the more interesting parts of science study, plants and animals. Chemistry students carry on many experiences dealing with all sorts of dangerous chemicals. Watch out, Mr. Waltz! Physics students ana- lyze sounds of objects, and use formulas re- quiring a good math background. For math, students have a varied choice. Starting with the shock of algebra in ninth grade, they move through geometry in tenth grade. Intermediate algebra and trigonometry are the essential components of Math 11; calcu- lus and advanced algebra greet seniors in Math 12.

Mr. R. Michael Brewster, History, Guidance, Future Teachers. Mrs. Joseph Thorn- ton, History, English. Mr. Donald Idleman, History. o Mr. Warren East- wick, History. Mr. Donald Roy, History, Baseball. Mrs. Nancy Von- Haggin, History, Latin, Senior Ad- visor. Mr. Joseph Holloway, History, Chess Club. Students in seventh grade study only New York State History; in eighth grade they are given a chance to broaden their knowledge through the study of United States History. Upon entering high school they begin to prepare for the regents, which comes at the end of their senior year. This requires a much wider under- standing of history, beginning with the Crusades, continuing through the Mid- dle Ages and Renaissance, and culmina- ting in the more familiar, modern day events. English and S.S. provide the backbone Let's see, next period I have lunch, thinks Mr. Eastwick as he idly studies his ring. As his senior class finish their six week tests, Mr. Eastwick's thoughts drift on to noon and the after- noon classes. 8
