Work, Power Energy What's the first thing the eight Chemistry students say to each other every morning: Did you do your chemis- try? What? Are you kidding? Did you? Nol Good! Chemistry class, taught first hour by Mr. Diekmann, con- sisted of eight juniors. Stu- dents studied moles, ratios, chemical symbols, equations, and formulas. They worked very hard hoping to prepare themselves for college in the future. The biology classes were set up a lot differently this year. Instead of one class taught by Mr. Diekmann, there was another class taught by Sister Mary. Both classes followed the same ba- sic lesson plans which includ- ed studies of plant and animal life, a special condensed sec- tion on chemistry, and var- ious experiments performed in the lab. Students worked hard, learned a lot, and had fun in the process. Lecturing and corny jokes set the pace of this year's General Science class. The class consisted mostly of freshmen with a scattering of sophomores. Some of the subjects the class studied were environ- mental pollution, energy, ra- diation, formulas. They also experimented in the science labs. With a lot of hard work and determination, Mr. Diekmann attempted the task of teaching the eager, yet sometimes rowdy, General Science class, and he succeeded! Sister Mary leads the biology field trip and gets a little help from above. Debbie Rutledge looks surprised and emban-assed as she discovers Mr. Jeanette Erichsen demonstrates the Diekmann has stumbled onto the fact that there is a wild tic-tac-toe game fine art of braille reading, going on in the back of biology class.

Cathy Tornandi carries on the lat- est gossip during Algebra I, while her classmates strain to concen- trate on what Miss Satterlee is saying. Tim Vuono tries to catch up on his Algebra II after he spent half of his class time in the darkroom. Judy, what is the answer to ques- tion 29, asks Sr. Frederic. Todd Croy, Mary Boiler, and Wanda Witherspoon find it hard to keep their minds on geometry.
