T Creatures Aid Learning oday ' s the day we ' re going to dis- sect a frog in biology. I even prepared by skipping my usual breakfast (Life cereal and milk) so that I wouldn ' t have an ac- cident during class. Can you believe that I have biology right before lunch? A friend of mine, Sandy Fine, tried to reassure me by saying, The frogs are really clean and dry. Sure, sure. I think that I ' ll have to experience it for myself to get the real feeling of seeing that poor dried up little creature lying on the table at the mercy of my fingers. After reading and studying these lob papers over five times, I think I know what to do to this little frog. I wash my hands and grab the knife. The frog shoots me a dirty look as I prepare to open its somach. Well, we ' ve finished with our little op- eration; it wasn ' t as bad as I thought it would be. Except, of course, for the aw- ful smell of the formaldehyde that the poor little frog was swimming in before we had the pleasure of its company. In biology, we don ' t just dissect frogs, we also work with worms, clams and crayfish. This gang isn ' t quite as bad — except for the smell. The frogs smelled, but the cloms were twice as bad. In Advanced Placement biology, col- lege-oriented students dissect fetal pigs, grass hoppers and other friends from nature. What distinguishes them from us is that they also dissect the brains and go into more detail. What joy. if 1. A scientific discovery? Maybe, theorizes Mr. Show. 2. Mr. Monaco prepares to deli ' his chemistry class. 3. Mr. Murray reads instructions to his students. 2 Anson, Jim Special Education Bell, Karen English Bell, Robert Social Science Brophy, Edward Social Science Brown, Al Industrial Arts Bruce, Joan Physical Education Brule, Walt Industrial Arts Buckout, Doug Fine Arts Camacho, Ray Business ' a lecture to 252

Work Fun and Unusual ■ !• i Secretaries are far from being the in- visible bodies on Rubidoux ' s campus. They participate in helping concessions at football games, judging at pep as- semblies, and evaluating cheerleading and drill tryouts. We are constantly seeing a parade of interesting students in the office. Es- pecially during times such as ' Home- coming Week, ' when we see mustaches painted on their faces, buttons all over their bodies, etc. It really helps the secre- taries get into the spirit of things, com- mented Nancy Kreti. The secretaries ore always doing five things at once, including typing, talking on the phone, taking care of teacher requests, and answering questions for students when all of a sudden their boss calls them into his office to take care of something. Secretaries do many things to keep this school running in a logical order. Be- sides keeping things from falling apart, secretaries have strange and crazy things happen to them. Adeline Fowler tells of an event that happened to her. One year, a student, who was kind of a little pest (in a nice way), not knowing that I was scared to death of snakes, , brought a little gopher snake up to the office and stuck it in my face. I ran screaming into the back room. The next day he brought me an orchid that he had raised, as a way to apologize. Many forget that secretaries take care of attendance, counselor appoint- ments, and also help with much ASB pa- per work. It is a lot of fun. I meet a lot of stu- dents. I ' m very enthusiastic and posi- tive. A lot of funny things happen and make the day go by faster, stated Bobbi Steward, -k 1. Janet Sprik eyes a parent, while her TA ' s work dihgently. 2.
