The science department helped students better understand these things through experiments, field trips, guest speakers, assignments and lectures. ln learning about life, Biology students took a field trip to Northwest Trek, and they hiked on Saturdays to the Ice Caves, Dewey Lake, Trump Glacier and the Kent Lagoon. Guest speakers were featured from Discovery Park and the Audobon Soci- ety. Students had many chances to obsenre slugs and anemonies in their own classroom aquariums. Other ani- mals included rabbits, various rodents, and Zebra Finches for study. Physics and Chemistry students had exposure to the science of computers by using the computers to calculate data from labs, Department head Mr. Lear Lewis observed, Students are concentrating more on learning not just for the grade, but because they are interested and they want to learn.

would Gilligans Gag Hts of Gas Does learning a foreign language help in the job market? Well it might, but we 're mainly training kids to appre- ciate other cultures and to be world citizens, remarked Tom Rohm, Ger- man instructor. First year students learned basic conversation techniques, grammar, and had an introduction to the culture. Second year students concentrated on individual speaking and putting the language into actual practice. What I really enjoy is the parties and field trips, they're an important part of the class, commented Tari Robb, Spanish student. For all three languages, the biggest event was the annual Mardi Gras, Fasching or Carni- val. Field trips included a trip to Can- ada, the Pike Place Market and a tour of the grade schools where they taught the songs and dances of their studies. Darby Kruger, German stu- dent summed up the feelings about the class, lt's a gas being able to talk a foreign language. R. Hansen 1. French students wait patiently for their next assignment. 2.

Ew:gdwQfnLQ uwxdes Nl was excited, commented senior Karen Newman when asked about her reaction to the Social Studies new Close Up Project. l like to travel and it's a very affordable trip back east. Close Up was a program where stu- dents observed how the country was run on Capitol Hill. lt was sponsored by a non-profit national foundation located in Washington D.C. The pro- gram was put into effect by the three way effort of Mrs. Karen Verner, Ms. Jane Cleveland, and Mr. Glen Baron. Students went in the spring for one week. Other field trips were cut, but Mr. Baron and his Special Problems class visited the Legislative session also in the spring. The department offered the same spectrum of courses, creative lectures and interesting topics were tools used frequently, There 's some- thing in each class for everyone, stated Ms. Jane Cleveland, We just stomp, because of a young and ener- getic staff.
