Science seeks additional space Closer professional relationships, a new biology program, and the enjoyment of having the first student teachers in 10 years, were noted improve- ments in the Science Department. Although improvements had surfaced, there were always things that could still be taken care of. With 16 people employed in the Science Depart- ment and approximately 35-40 students per class, more class space was needed. Large classes and over use of facilities were two of the biggest problems, said Barry Marson, Science Department chairperson. Teachers, es- pecially those in Science, needed a stable class- room, so classes could be more organized. Although saying that facilities were improving may be contradictory, Mr. Marson, along with the other teachers, agreed that the new Science office was an improvement for the better. There was a place for storage of materials shared by teachers and a refuge from a tough day of teaching, said Mr. Marson. '-in r l 1' Being head of the Science Department was an invisible job, with many responsibilities. Maintain- ing a budget and watching out for the good of the entire department were just two of the responsibili- ties Mr. Marson had to deal with. Basically I acted as a liason between the science teachers and the administration. l tried to stay out of the way and let the people teach, and also offered encouragement, said Mr. Marson. New to Tokay's Science Department were Mark Samuelson and Debbie Defenbaugh, student teachers for Courtney Porter and Susan Heberle. Also added to the Science curriculum was the new biology program. The new program was organized so that every Biology teacher was teaching the same lesson, to make it easier for students to transfer from class to class. by Andy Andris photos by Eric Johnston 4.

As the year started, Tiger teams began the path to vic- torious seasons. The varsity football team led the pack by clawing its way through lea- gue competition and break- ing past records. For the first time in To- kay's football history the var- sity team won more than five league games and eight games overall. Along with football, To- kay 's cross counrty teams ran their way to a first place standing. With a new head coach, the varsity boys soccer team fought tough battles but managed to maintain a top position. The varsity volleyball team attempted to regain the sec- tion title and SJAA champi- onship, but was challenged by strong competition. Girl's tennis hnished its best season at I O-4, defeating Lincoln twice for the first time in its history. No matter what the sport or season, Tokay's athletic pro- gram proved its strength to its competition and itself All teams met their potential and raised the Tiger's pride to new heights. by Kuldip Kaur Sports Division 109
