Just a breeze When it comes to classwork, most students would rather be doing something else. However, that was the very reason we came to this place called school. During six classes each weekday, we were obligated to meet certain re- quirements that were given to us by our teachers. Four times per year our overall performance was evaluated and sent home to them in the form of report cards. It was at these times that we spent our precious minutes trying to beat our parents to the post office, thinking up excuses, or work- ing to raise our grades at the last mo- ment. Other studious, hard-working individuals relaxed, thinking of how pleased their parents would be with their grades. Each year after going through all of the high school requirements, summer arrives and students engage themselves in many completely dif- ferent activities such as vegging- out and kicking back. Although the homework, tests, and reports can be troublesome and tiring, our pleasant memories always outweigh those that were not as pleasant, and we look back on the situation with a smile.

Many believe that scl- ence does not have a relevant place in their learning program, but almost every aspect of our lives is improved or created by science. Under the strong science staff of Robert Tait, Art Piersall, Rene Cortez, Dan Adams and Sylvia Stewart, students enjoyed classes in Physics, Biology, Biology ll, Chemistry, and General Science. In Physics, the most advanced science class at Ser- rano, students learned about vectors, acceleration, lights, and dynamics. Some also participated in a Physics Day at Magic Mountain in which students from different schools com- peted in scientific contests. In the Biol- ogy classes, students were stimulated by the dissection of frogs, cats, and other creatures. Highlights in Chem- istry were lab experiments and dem- onstrations, The Science Department, overall, had a very successful year. 60 In 'ff'
