During the year the students in Chemistry had to have their own individual experiment which involved a variety of options such as make shampoo, alcohol, soap, mutation and, for the first time, experimenting with test tube mice. Biology also changed. The teachers put most of their energy into making new unit booklets. They were also in the process of forming an extra-curricular activity with all of the science teachers in which they would get together and increase the number of field trips and spend more time out of school with the students who really like sci- ence. The major impact has been through the new school improvement program, explained Biology teach- er Mr. McKeever. Instead of having life science and general science seper- ately the two were combined to one semester of each and the two teachers would just switch classes at the end of the semester. Physics has joined inthe use of the new computer for their experiments. They also started a Physics Club which was formed to enable them to visit places with some sci' entific significance.

YQ 5 Computers expand dept. Computer use expanded this year with the addition of seven new terminals. The use of these computers kept rising through- out the year. The students used these computers for games and for help with their work. We did not need Governor Brown to tell us that computers are in, stated math teacher Glen Cornett. The use of computers was not the only thing expanding dur- ing the year. The enrollment of students was also on the rise. The enrollment increased steadily. New students joined and others stayed with the math courses. With the ever risingp amount of students, math teacher Wes Peterson was drafted to the department to assist the overburdened teachers. Work was also continued on the Math 10 review course and on the math lab. The math lab will be a place for students to receive help in any math class. This would help the student to understand the material more. The math classes help prepare students for the future.
