Serving Sylvania What goes on in Sylvania during the hours of 7:35 a.m. to 2:25 p.m.? Northview wanted to know and become a part of the action, so they began organizing different clubs that would work with the public during the time that they were in school. Northview opened a small restaurant lo- cated near the cafeteria, called the Golden Chandelier, opened to the public for lunch. The business was fully operated by the stu- dents, who were instructed and trained to prepare foods. Northview also started training students in hair care. They thought that if they built a beauty parlor, the students could train and get the personal experience needed to get a job after high school. One other service that was offered to the community was the student aid program which sent senior students to elementary schools to assist the teachers. These students read stories and taught the younger children how to add using flash cards. By offering these various services, North- view has become a part of the Sylvania community, in school and out. Preparing various cold sandwiches offered on the Golden Chandelier menu is junior Dale Wagner. Scheduling a hair appointment for a customer is senior Lesia johnson.

I O C K Flirtin' with X disaster Every year many seniors take advantage of the priv- iledge of leaving school before seventh period. This is something many students have looked forward to, but there are exceptions to every rule. Approximately 50 seniors and several juniors were enrolled in anatomy, Biology ll and physics. Although science has proved disasterous for some students, these few juniors and seniors have stayed extra hours to further their scien- tific studies in these college level courses. As compared to previous years the enrollment in anatomy decreased from two classes of 20 or more students to one class of 18. According to anatomy instructor Mr. jerry Webb, the process of self- scheduling may have played a part in the enrollment because students chose commoms as an easy alterna- tive. Anatomy, although offered to juniors, consisted of mostly seniors. juniors wishing to take the class must have taken chemistry, although chemistry was not a prerequisite for seniors. This was intended to push juniors into taking chemistry, which may be of more practical use than anatomy. The actual study in anatomy began with the pri- mary tissues of animals and worked through the human systems. Dissection also accompanied the lectures, a cat was the largest animal the students worked on. Outside the classroom field trips were taken to the Medical College of Ohio and Flower Hospital. Physics was also offered to both seniors and juniors, but again the class was made up largely of seniors. Offered two periods a day, the physics classes were quite large. Mr. Bob Berning, physics teacher, felt this was due to the fact that few teachers were willing to teach senior classes in the afternoon. The class period was mainly lecture and the students concentrated on solving problems. Mr. Berning added that a student passing physics at Northview would have little trouble passing a college physics course. Physics is not always all work, roast- ing marshmallows over Fisher burners provided a nice break. Biology Il is a course designed to pick up where Biology l left off by going into indepth treatment ofthe biological processes. This course, open to seniors and juniors, had a small class size of nine. According to instructor Mr. Gary Kocher, few students signed up for the class because of the degree of difficulty and conflicts with band members since Biology ll is offered only during fifth period. Because of the small number of students, the Biology ll atmosphere is much more relaxed than that of the Biology I class, although the textbook used is of a much higher level than that of Biology I or BSCS. All of these advanced science courses offer college level activities to science minded students, however, these students must be willing to put in many extra hours of study. More importantly, these students have made the decision to give up free time in order to advance in these scientific areas.
