The Math Department has two teachers, Edith Stone and Dick Miller, who teach subjects from elementary algebra to trigo- nometry. All students take a year or two of math and learn different levels of difficulty such as learn- ing to multiply fractions in Alge- bra I then doing proofs in Geome- try. For the second year the de- partment held a Math Field Day. Students competed in math games such as hex and rapid tran- sit. Not only was it fun for the students, but several also won prizes. Math students pay close attention to the processes of the math assign- ment. Miss Stone frowns at Jeff Michel and Shannon Howard, but since it s a good day she won ’t stay angry long. Math Soon to cast aside the fading stars of the ath- letic teams, math stars take the prize in the second Math Field Day. MAT i 29

Science Excitement! Many students turned to science this year as a way to relieve them- selves of the boredom of the usual math and English classes. Jim Meyer and Harvey Underwood are two unusual science teachers who spice up the scho- lastic lives of their students. Mr. Underwood teaches Biology and Biology II. Biology, required for all sophomores, gave students a chance to learn about cells, DNA. and dissec- tion. Biology II included gathering leaves and collecting bugs, plus dissection of animals from a starfish to a fetal pig. A new addition to the biology room was the boa constrictor. All biology students were fortunate enough to hear Mr. Underwood’s daily jokes. Mr. Meyer teaches Chemistry and Physics to eager upperclassmen. Stu- dents memorized formulas and learn the periodic table, but the relationship between Mr. Meyer and his students makes the class worthwhile, according to Wendy Steller. “My favorite class is Physics because of the constant amusing bickering between Mr. Meyer and Chuck Goodrich.” Row 1: Bob Novak.
