The science depart- ment sponsored classes such as science, Bio- logy I and II, conserva- tion, and chemistry. Science was the prelim- inary to Biologies I and II. These classes were concerned with the study of life. Conservation dealt with the preserva- tion of our natural re- sources and chemistry helped students learn the essentials of making compounds. Science was required for all sophomores ex- cept those who had taken it when they were fresh- man. For the rest of the students, it was more experience on such topics as molecules, leaf col- lections, and sodium chloride. Teachers in the sci- ence department were Mrs. Hooks, Mr. Wells, and Miss Winkleman. Mary Zakrzewski, Lori Castillo, and Brian Via study for a test. 20

Among the math of- fered were basic math, General Math I and II, Algebra I and II , geom- etry, trigonometry, and physics. Mr. Collins Ray Di ' Aloisio Mr. Reygaert astounds Ursula Sobas. 19
