Looking Q Learning The study of science is thinking the Creator's thoughts after Him and looking for the fingerprints of the Creator on His Creations. Mr. Krueger. Biology is the systematic study of living things, how they affect one another and how they affect man. We seek to understand enough about the anat- omy and ecology among living things to begin to see the order in the complexity of God's elaborate crea- tion. In Chemistry, we take a fascinating look at the theoretical world of atomic structures and where un- seen particles and forces work together to produce a myriad of ordinary miracles that surround us. In both courses the laboratory is designed to pro- vide exciting and practical experiences with the theories and methods of science.

Expressions . . . . . . art is a good way to release one's anxieties through creativity . . . relaxes you and enables you to put your mood on paper . . . it's a nice break from the other classes . . . pro- vides for my natural way of expression .... During the year, the students were involved in everything from lettering, stitchery, drawing, notans, to logos, and pasting collages. The highlights of the year were the sculpture and stitchery projects. Friday's were spent with a combination of art history and sketch pads which were graded and discussed in class. The purpose of the class this year was to achieve some degree of art appreciation, skills in working with materials, and developing the ability to solve problems and think through complications that came up. Miss Cummins commented that art is a class to be enjoyed but she also expects their best work for a top-grade finished product. TOP RIGHT: Lisa works on her stitchery design.
