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'

Drafting was a non-verbal form of communication enabling the designing, fabrication, or manufacturing of an ob- ject through the use of pictorial drawings. All drawings were completed with the use of drafting. None of the drafting was done freehand. There are many aspects of drafting such as mechanical, architectural, en- gineering, and structural. This year Ser- rano offered classes in the mechanical and architectural areas of drafting. The drafting industry is available to both male and female students. lt offers many financial opportunities for those who possess the aptitude to draft and believe that a career in drafting would be satisfying and fulfilling. Drafting is a part of our everyday lives, our homes, furniture, fashions, motor vehicles, roads and school are some examples of drafting. Everything that exists needs a set of drawings to become reality. 1. Mr. Pambianco demonstrates the skills of drafting to Todd Melinn. 2. Travis Berryhill is engrossed in his drafting project. 5- ...ler'
