Exploring a culture After school activities not only include sports, but various special interest clubs, among these are the language clubs. Membership is open to any foreign language student. Pan Am, German Club and French Club are specialized explora- tions of more than a new language, but an entire new culture. Various parties and trips enhance the learning of a culture, such as an Enchilada Party, sponsored by Pan Am, or sponsoring of Amity Aides. These aides are teachers from foreign countries visiting the language department to assist students in the learning of specific languages. During the first and second quarters there were two Amity Aides: one from Venezuela and one from Germany. Furthering the learning of French, German and Spanish, these clubs provide many educational as well as social opportunities for students of these languages. For those students excelling in the study of Spanish, there is the Spanish Honor Society, sponsored by Mr. Rudolph Bartolozzi. This club acknowledges those students having exceptional interest in Spanish. In February, members are initiated into this society during a candlelight ceremony. Membership is open to those students having an average of B or above in Spanish for five semesters. Activities of Spanish Honor Society include a bake sale, a banquet in May and participation in the various social gatherings of the Pan Am Club. Learning to speak French, Ger- man or Spanish - there ' s more to it than just words.

Microscopes Molecules Microscopes, molecules and momentum are all familiar phrases that have been heard in the Science Department for as long as anyone can remember, but the Science Depart- ment is not the same this year. New equipment, classes and teachers have brought about many improvements. The main goal of the department this year was to increase the depart- ment ' s enrollment to that of sur- rounding schools. To reach this goal, new programs were instituted and several new teachers hired. An Hon- or ' s program was initiated to allow selected students to take more ad- vanced science classes. This turned out to be quite a challenge for those students in Mr. Koval ' s Honor ' s Physics class. Improvements of the facilities was another major goal. An effort to restore the greenhouse was begun by biology teacher, Mr. Bruce Palmer, The refinishing of the chemistry lab was quite a project for new teacher Ms. Dalia Zygas. Three out of the five teachers in the Science Department were new this year, Ms. Dalia Zygas, Mrs. Marie Osborn and Mr. Roger Roeing. Mr. Roeing, who is also Student Council advisor, came to us from East Leyden to replace Mr. Stephen Kyrias who retired. Senior Donna Walters also added her talents to the department, work- ing as an aid to Department Chair- man, Mr. David Koval. In addition to increasing enroll- ment, the object of the new and old teachers was to help students pursue their scientific interests. Keeping a steady hand while carefully disecting a worm in Biology class is easy for sophomore Robert Ress, just as long as he has a sharp scaple to work with. Displaying a carefully assembled butterfly collec- tion is yet another tedious studied in an everyday Physics class, as Steve Havlick found out this semester.
