This was just one of the 70 elec- tives offered in the Science Department. UA lot of my friends thought Anatomy sounded unappetiz- ing, but l though it was inter- esting , stated Laura Rogers, senior. Ornamental Horticulture was also offered. Miss Rose Ffoback brought new ideas with her when she transferred from Thornwood. This class gave students a chance to learn how to design their own flower arrangements and centerpieces. lt also helped with gift-giving ideas. Whose mom couldn't help but be delighted to receive a floral arrangement for Moth- er's Day or Valentine's Day? The class really helped out at Christmas because l was able to replace my mom 's old wreath with a new one l made , stated Laurie Bosak, junior. Besides these two classes, Physics, Chemistry and Envi- ronmental Science were again available. Of these classes Biology was the most popular class with more then 700 students enrolled. This class, most of- ten taken by sophomores, helped fill the 2-year science requirement for graduation. These classes helped stu- dents to develop an under- standing and appreciation of the environment around them. Science Department 61
