Dedication - Coach Marc Dick explains yet another point of Physics to his class during a discussion. fx ' ,,-ff X X.,-0-H ex Bug in my frog Math, science teachers show enthusiasm There's a bug in my frog! Although science classes were faced with many problems, lack of enthusiasm on the part of the teachers was not one of them. You get a chance to talk to everyone and make them believe something they didn't want to believe before, Coach Danny Quick said of his class. His main goal was for all students to get a firm foundation in higher level sciences which he ac- complished through lectures, questions from the book and labs. The labs fell in the general category between chemicals and sun- tanning, unlike Mrs. Nina Outlaw's Honors Biology class which dissected earthworms and frogs. When asked if she enjoyed teaching honors biology, she said, Oh, I love it! because biology is the study of life and life is so interesting! Her students seem to share her enthusiasm for the subject. I liked learning about diabetes, said sophomore Russell Cave. Sophomore Mike Minter said on a lighter note that cutting up frogs was his favorite part of Honors Biology. Another science class offered was anatomy which Mrs. Outlaw also taught. She found it rewarding because, It's an elective 152 Math, Science that people are taking because they want to go on in that field. I can really enjoy it because I can relate to it. There were five science classes offered this year: Physical Science, Biology, Honors Biology, Anatomy and Chemistry. Five math classes also offered this year were: Fundamentals of Math, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry and Trigonometry. Math teacher Mrs. Sybil Kingston enjoyed teaching math because, although the students were frustrating sometimes, it's entertaining to see them mature. Her main goal was to motivate students for entry into the math field, or toward a college-bound program. She conducted her classes through lec- tures and notes. Only three credits of math are needed to graduate, the same amount is required for science. Many students, however, are in- terested in these subjects and take more credits than needed, or because they are like Physical Science teacher Coach Quick who says, I just like to blow things up. - ALEX CHRISTIE
