The Math department has been commended for being one of the finest in the school these past few years. But during our four year stay, we could always find the time to change the conversa- tion to more interesting topics. Mrs. Rickart’s class could al- ways find an excuse for a party; and Mr. Cleary would keep us sharp with his stories and antics. You could always count on him riding his unicycle through the halls at least once a year. Baseball got almost as much attention in Mr. Plourde’s as geometry, while Mr. Planz’s exciting proofs served only to con- fuse his students. After taking a few years off, Mr. Dorsett returned to teach us the difference between interest and percent- age, while doubling as our Vice-Principal. But through all the stories, jokes, and hearty laughs, we learned about Math from A to Z, and for this we thank the Math teachers of Nonnewaug High. Mr. Ed Dorsett Mr. Vic Plourde Ms. Tara Rickart

Mr. Robert Dibble Mrs. Phyllis Cummings Whenever we were scheduled for science, we knew there would be something new and interesting for us to do. Mr. Geist’s stream tables will always hold a spot in our hearts, as will Ms. Melnyk’s lectures on the ocean and our environment. Mr. Biondo taught us about the origins of life, how we evolved, and where we came from, while trying to get to the bottom of the Chapter 13 scandal. Mr. Dibble showed us how to use a slide rule, and Mr. Rac- zelowski explained the difference between velocity and speed. The lab was, and still is controlled by Mrs. Cum- mings, whose fee charts and lab books always kept us hopping. Science was hard, but still retained that little bit of fun and laughter which made it a very worthwhile course. 16 Mr. Sal Biondo
