Jon Jensen ables that glowed in the dark, space colonies, exploding l bubbles, dead grasshoppers, and volcanoes were all a part l of Lyman's science program. Science has to be fun and lexciting. The program is always better if it is more exciting, noted Teacher Mark Lynn. I Science Student of the Year Todd Carter, who planned a career in Aerospace Engineering, said, '5The A.P. Chemistry and physics classes were really Acetic acid. Carefully pouring acid, Craig Johnson readies an experiment. Johnson contemplates a career in chemical engineering which would challenge him to perform at the top level of his math and science skills. Prestige of chemi tr Glows on record challenging because they made me think. Lynn noted that 74 percentae of the 1987 graduating class had taken chemistry. Most schools of our size only have around 20 students in chemistry, he said. We had 55 chemistry students this year. He added that colleges look for classes like chemistry on transcripts, the class has a lot of prestige. Chemistry added 50 more experiments this year. Dennis Johnson said that he particularly enjoyed the glow-in-the-dark experiment. 'fWe dumped it all over the tables so they glowed with the lights off. Biology was my favorite class, said Jessica Dunn. She noted that her favorite part was dissecting, I really liked the fish, but I couldn't handle the grasshopper.

Ready, set, run. Another chemistry experiment W Brent Walk, Chad Anderson, Brent Williams and Robert Platts carefully prepare a setup while Teresa Nelson hesitates about being involved. Snake! The snake is missing! 7 dreaded words for custodians and some of the teachers. The friendly gopher snake wrapped around Brett Shahan's arm and being observed by Instructor Mark Seals took a weekend vacation, touring the school, before he was located, WWW 'L M-i-e-k-e-y. Mr. Jaggi makes biology interesting. He relates every day things to what he is teaching, and makes jokes and fun with the material, said Sophomore Jessica Dunn. Mount St. Lyman. The school was always in danger of burning down when Chemistry Mare Lynn and students Deon Thomas, Chad Anderson and Brent Williams were turned lose in the lab, Lynn said he added 50 experiments to the course, but even at that the class still ended seven weeks ahead of schedule. 98 Academic Science E N- ,M wg!

Office practice. Before going into the co-op program as seniors, underclassmen must learn office operations that are common in all businesses. Teacher Beverly Adkins instructs Suzie McDonald and Donna Nichols on these skills. Learning as they work Co-op employees tackle jobs Most , . were placed in new jobs created for them. Bev Adkins IOO Co-op Leza Chapman student graduates. What's next for him? College? No, he didn't like school that much. Work? Yes, it will have to be work. But at what? The co-op program was developed to help some seniors solve this dilemma. 4'Coop is a class designed to help the student make a smooth transition from school to work, said Teacher Beverly Adkins. This is done by teaching the students job skills like personal appearance, human relations, economics and communications. The program gives students an hour of high school credit, plus two hours of credit for working at least two hours a day at a supervised training position in a business. Mr, Hicks suggested the program last year. He felt that there were 'deserving' seniors whom the school could help more by providing a class for the transition from school to work and since most students have nearly finished their graduation requirements by the time they're seniors, this program gives them a chance to broaden their real-life experiencefi said Adkins. Most of the I2 students in this program were placed in new jobs that were created for themf' noted Adkins. They work an average of I0- l5 hours a week. First State Bank of Lyman Vice President Judy Strobel had in mind a responsible and capable student to work part-time during the school year and then fill in as a teller for regular employees on vacation during the summer when she inquired at the school about a distribution education program. Delynda Peavler accepted the position at the bank with .linger Coombs as her supervisor. HBeing in co- op should help me in getting another job after I graduate if I don't stay on at this onef' said Peavler. Since the program was sc new, it was being run on a trial basis. Ideally the students would come in and learn job seeking skills and then go out and find their jobs. But this year they had to have a job before they were admitted to the class,' Adkins added. The students who were involved in co-op enjoyed it It was pretty neat getting out of school after fifth hot to go to work. I was able tc get in more hours, toof' sai Teresa Nelson. I liked the fact that eve if I didn't have to go to wo right after I got out of school, I got two free hours to do homework and catch on things I couldn't do because of work, noted Nancie Clark. Both Nelson and Clark were employed a Benedict's Thriftway.
