$ciemet Zke A et Of 2Ha0 - 2H 2 + 0,. Sound famil- iar? That seemed to be the basic equation balanced in Sister Mary’s chemistry class. If you think that’s all they learned, you’re wrong. Besides balancing equations, the eager chemistry students did experiments with un- predictable results, and learned all about the periodic table. Physics was Sister Mary’s other class and she’ll probably say it was a little rough, but after a little hard work and determination, they did manage to learn a few things. They learned a lot about light, heat, and wave lengths which will hopefully get them somewhere in life. The other science teacher was Mr. Kline. He had the task of teaching the basics of science in a class called general science. The students had to work hard to ab- sorb all the knowledge that Mr. Kline tried to teach them, which included the basics of an atom, the neutron, electron, and proton. The other class taught by Mr. Kline was biology. What’s biology you say? Well, It’s crayfish, frogs, amphibians, metacarpals and ecology all rolled into one. The students were able to learn about these things by doing worksheets, term papers, and a day of teaching class all by themselves. They seemed to thoroughly enjoy doing each.

Rome Wasn’t Built Jn 'Day . . . If you walk into our school one day and just happen to walk downstairs, you might come upon a bright, colorful room, with Van Halen or Kansas painted all over the walls, a big tree stump in the middle of the room, or a few ma- crame’ planters hanging from the ceiling. If you haven’t guessed it al- ready, chances are you’ve encoun- tered the art room. Within this room, you will find the many art students working busily on their work which in- cludes weaving oi painting, water coloring, jewelry making, or just drawing free hand. And, as the saying goes-over every great stu- dent, there’s a great teacher. Well, this teacher is Mrs. Crank. She stands over them, teaching them everything they need to know, and making sure they do it right. She helped them on the background for the play “Father Knows Best” put on by the drama department, and helped make big plans with the freshmen to add a little color to the art room ceiling, along with getting students art work into con- tests and helping the seniors get scholarships. All this and more, helped make a great year in art. ABOVE: Richard McGuire caught in one of his rare moments, works diligently on his rug.
