:tence Classes taught at cramped Annex From BSCS Biology 1 to Physics, the NHS Science Department offers an exten- sive variety of courses. The highly capable and experienced staff have courageously overcome the inconveniences of conduct- ing classes at the Annex. The added dif- ficulties of shortened class periods and the controversial requirement of vi alking between schools did not stop the students from learning all that w as possible. Ms. Barbara Starky organized and coached the second Science Olympics Team of Northville High. The team com- peted in the annual regional meet at U of M Dearborn. The meet included the popular Science Bov l, a game show consisting of scientific categories. Once again the conservation class traveled to Camp Mahn-Go-lahsee for an indepth study of the environment. The trip proved to be highly enjoyable and will no doubt be repeated in years to come. Because of expanding career fields in the sciences, student needs have become more and more demanding. The NHS Science department has risen to meet the requirements of this technical age and continues to successfully prepare students for the world. It looks like Eric Stempien ' s and Jeremy Kitchen ' s bacteria lab was smelllngly successful! Ms, Starkey smiles even with her goggles on Mr. Trombley excites his students with Van der Waals radius.
