Below: The only projectile that pitching ace Dr. Loy is thinking about at the student-faculty softball game is the one that ends in the catcher ' s mitt. physics — the science of matter and motion” — Webster “Physics is a demanding major, but everyone helps each other and the professors always have time for the students. But more all- nighters are spent on lab book write-ups ...” — Stephanie Anderson, major “Physics is phun.” — Cheryl Hawk “Atomic and Nuclear Physics with Dr. Raub was an excellent course. It was up to date and related to things like chemistry and philosophy. — Fred Glatter “What’s a slide rule?’’ — Larry Liss, major “Life is not a plug in.” — Dr. Milligan, in class “Physics majors don ' t carry calculators on their belts.” — anony- mous major In search of perfect lab results are Betsy Poggemeier and Dave Majerich. Below: Visual aids are essential to physics classes. Here Dr. Boyer goes for a spin. |r, o. ' c ‘ ' vEgji ■ flM PHYSICS CLUB — First Row: G. Bogart, S. Anderson, J. Cowan, G. Halko. Second Row: L.

the Individuals mathematics — the science that deals with numbers and space configurations. — Webster “Thus mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true.’’ — Bertrand Russell “Whoever would have known that Abstract Algebra would be so abstract?’’ — Michelle Murray, major “Because you spend so much out-of-class time using the terminals, Computer Science should be worth four credits, like the lab sciences.’’ — Barb Boyea “Don’t let school get in the way of your education.” — anonymous math professor No one ' s in it alone In freshman calc, and Maria drone and Michele Jones pool forces to try to decipher a problem. Below: Fall weather prompts Mr. St ump to pedal to campus. The trick is getting the bicycle to the third floor of the science building. MATH CLUB — First Row: J. Morris, J. Gordon. Second Row: T. Ziering, D. Majerich. Third Row: B. Selick, J. Kreider, M. Weinberg. MATH — First Row: Dr. Laurence Boxer, Ms. Ran- dy Davidson. Second Row: Mr. Roland Dede- kind, Dr. Adnah Kosten- bauder.

the Individuals chemistry — the science of the composition of substances and the changes they undergo — Webster “Majors usually do some kind of research work here at a graduate level.” — Dr. Smart “I like lab work, and our labs are better than those at any other school I’ve seen.” — Linda Kojitjy “The department is on the approved list of the American Chemical Society.” — Dr. Mortimer. “What will I do when I graduate? Write chemistry books!” — Dan Verdonik “I’m interested in medical school, and chem seemed like the most practical major in case I change my mind.” — Tom Grau “Although the courses were good, the attitude of the professors and the department was too oriented to professional schools rather than careers out of college.” — anonymous senior major “I like the nat sci major because it is so flexible. You can select your area of specialty and take more of what you want. The drawback is the intense level of competition that exists between many of the students in these courses.” — Cindy Peters “I like ions.” — anonymous major Careful calculations require hours of tab work, as freshman Allison Hill learns in Gen Chem. Left: A little bio, a little chem, and here a little biochem fills the schedules of nat sci majors, Rick Wedemeyer and Karen Oerter. Getting down to work is freshman Michell Arnone. Right: A sneak attack by ROTCie Jill Guidroz catches Dr. Weston by surprise. CHEMISTRY — First Row: Mrs. Elizabeth Bonanni, Dr. Richard Hatch. Sec- ond Row: Dr. Charles Mortimer, Dr. Richard Rauner. Third Row: Mrs. Colleen Serencsits, Dr. Donald Shive. Fourth Row: Dr. G.N. Russell Smart, Dr. David Stehly. Fifth Row: Mrs. Hazel Zief. 22
