Techniques Taught B The Finest Neptune High School students have the advan- tage of learning from out- standing science teachers. Over the years many of the teachers have acquired such awards as Monmouth County Teacher of the Year, an award presently held by physics teacher Mrs. Crewell. Mr. Scott, who teaches chemistry, was voted the most out- standing teacher in the state by the New Jersey Science Teacher Associa- tion in 1972 and Mr. Mon- aghan was awarded the Chemistry Teacher of the Year award in 1982. Our teachers also work away from school to keep themselves up on the sci- entific techniques. Por in- stance, Mr. Monaghan is in charge of running spe- cial classes at Monmouth College for both teachers and students. He is also on the Chicken-Pea Circuit, a dinner held for chemists from this district. Mr. Bru- no, a fine teacher of Biolo- gy who earned his Masters Degree in Physiology from Rutgers University, has been working for the Na- tional Oceanic and Atmo- spheric Administration as a field technican. He also belongs to a group that runs tests for detecting metals in the sea beds and water of the Atlantic Ocean.

Guilt Gr ot? You Decide You've been chosen to be a mem- ber of the jury for the United States vs. James Snodgrass mur- der trial. lfirst, a little about the case. On the night in question, the victim Bob Burley was shot to death by the defendant. What you, the jury, must decide is whether Mr. Snodgrass shot Mr. Burly in self-defense, or whether it was cold-blooded, premeditated murder This was the task set before the participants in a Mock Trial com- petition. Students took on the roles of attorneys, witnesses and jurors to try to prove that their point of view was feasible while the other school's was not. The students participated in a re- gional competition at the Freehold County Court House, and winners went on to compete at the State Tournament at the New Jersey Su- preme Court in Trenton. The advisors for Neptune's Mock Trial program, Mr. Edward Moskal and Mr. Charles Brod- water, put a lot of time and energy into helping students understand more about the justice system. They coached the students on proper questioning techniques and helped them gain a general respect and understanding of how the court system works.
