- t.ih Cludhur., Karl Rciilngucz, Shannon Smith, and rk Mat kanin proudly display rhcir hard earned awards. Ouper scientist saluted Being the only Texan to win the Wcs- tinghouse Science Talent Search was just one ot the many accomlishments ot se- nior Karl Rodriguez. Other awards in- cluded a Rensseelaer University Science medal and a grand prize at the Texas Junior Academy of Science competition. Although it may seem that this kind of success takes an all-work-no-piay attitude, Karl has managed to find time to hold a position on the school soccer team. Oddly enough, he also enjoys lis- tening to heavy metal music and ot course, reading science fiction novels. Adding to his current success, Karl will also be named as his class val- edictorian, maintaining a 4.0 grade av- erage.

Touch of Magic Magical student scientists garner awards Northside School District is a pow- erhouse in education, said Peggy Carnahan, ISD secondary science su- pervisor. Indeed it is and nothing proved this point more than the science fair. Marshall students Karl Rodriguez, Jen- nifer Matkin and Matali Chadhuri took first and second grand prizes in the Phys- ical Science division. Shannon Smith also achieved the title of Second Alternate in the same division. As far as the Science courses at Mar- shall are concerned, there was a wide range of choices, many students had a hard time deciding on which courses to take. Science courses offered included Biology I and II, Physical Science, Phys- ics I and II, Chemistry I and II, Human Anatomy and Marine Science. Junior, Mary Longi said, I took Chemistry be- cause the formulas and things relate to actual reactions that happen in real life. It ' s pretty cool if you think about it. Many reactions were presented in labs and class experiments, but there were also the inevitable lectures. The lectures were boring, but if you could stay awake through those, the experiments were pretty awesome, said Velmira Laurel. Most of the experiments worked out well, but some of them got a little out of hand. One such experiment caused a large hole in the ceiling of Mr. Knight ' s class room. Students had a challenge in their Sci- ence courses, but as Mitali Chadhuri, Karl Rodriguez, and others proved, Mar- shall high school truly is a scientific powerhouse .

T ouch of Society Behavioral studies provide futuristic views Does why someone acts a certain way and how it affects one ' s society interest you? How about enrolling in Psychology or Sociology. Psychology is the study of human and animal behavior within a society. Sociology is the study of group life of human beings and the resulting social behavior. Another choice is one of the most popular classes — Street Law. Senior, Letty Ruiz said, Street Law is an interesting class where you read court cases to learn how certain crimes have affected today ' s court system. Students take these courses mainly because they plan to major in something related to the area in college; such as a clinical psychologist like senior Missy Wilson. They also thought the classes would be enlightening to learn about themselves and their friends and to un- derstand why they behave the way they do. Mr. Collins has his Street Law classes attention to them about criminal | This class does not require as much time as my math class, stated Anessa DeBey, junior, but Psychology does take quite a bit of time to learn all the different terms. The classes consist of a lot of class discussions and group projects. The dis- cussions deal with topics such as multiple personalities, abnormal behavior, and the effects it has on our culture. One group projea the Psychology classes did was meditate. Psychology, Sociology, and Street Law are not required courses, therefore, stu- dents are in these classes because they are interested in the subject and want to be there. The feeling of obligation is not in a class that you want to take. People are in there because they want to be and that is what makes the class fun. Story.
