Science students help buy computer -Q . ,NL M Students work diligently on a project in Biology. Mr. Ray Collins, Department Chairman quas- -95 The Science Department started off the year with two new teach- ers, Mrs. Judy Gerdin who teaches Medical Careers and Mr. Jeff Simpson who teaches General Sci- ence and Biology. This year the science students did not just participate in class, they also sold Holiday gifts to help raise money for science comput- ers. The computers will not just be for teachers. The students will be able to use them for extra credit and to perform demonstrations that could not be done in class or to do work beyond required assign- ments. lt will be a period of 5 years before all of the equipment will be added. The Science Department had a few problems earlier in the year with a gas leak. The school district reacted quickly and brought porta- ble propane burners so that class work could continue. an--axis W, W I Mr. Richard Cherry Mr. Frank Grundler Mr. Jim Heinrichs Mr. Vernon Jensen Mrs. Beverly Lewis Mr. Jim Schonaerts Mr, Jeff Simpson Miss Terri Smith 27
