Science Get 64 b by Sandy Berndsen Test tubes boiled and students worked vi- gorously to get that lab done by the end of class, Such was the scene on a typical day in a science class. This year, out of 2900 stu- dents at Poway High, 2200 took a science class. The major excitement of the year was a laser disk forthe department which provided instantaneous visual pictures of things such as cell parts and paramecium. This was bought by a grant which was written by mem- bers of the department. Jill Pineault stated, 'll am glad that computers were used more in the classroom this year, so we learned more about microscopic life. Some classes even had unusual events which encouraged learn- ing and participation. As Rob Noel explained one of his AP Biology labs by saying, We cooked eggs with nitric acid, so now we can take ROP restaurant. Shaun Storm re- marked, ln my Oceanography class, we watched a movie about surfing called The Endless Summer, which was really fun. Mr. Mello summed up this yearis students by commenting, The students at Poway High are the neatest to work with because of their upbeat positive attitudes and their will- ingness to participate in the classroom. .,,, ,..,,. . .

Yes, these are the people that have taken a foreign language. There were many reasons why students took a foreign language class. A common re- ply might be for college but for others this was not true, as student Teresa Vodal com- mented, lt was a challenging course and one that pushed you to learn. She also noted that her teacher was very enthusiastic about teaching which made a difference to her. Presenting the language in such a way that was interesting could be a challenge. Teacher Mrs. Breckenridge noticed that teaching to a numerous number of students was challeng- ing but in the end very rewarding. Some students such as Kelly Weber and Sarie McFarland stated that they took a for- eign language possibly for future use in a career occupation. For some, their reasons for taking a foreign language were personal. ln taking a lan- guage, students learned about different cus- toms, lifestyles, and cuisine. There were many benefits to taking a for- eign language. For some it was the challenge of learning. For others it was for future career opportunities.
