Major Issues

rom botany to physics students chose
F
sciences from the selection of 18
classes . Their normal routines, how-
ever, were disrupted by the vandalism.
"It was a shambles!" said science
teacher Dave Noodell. Everything from
broken glass, and cabinets to fire extin-
guishers and even a skeleton was
damaged.
Besides problems there were changes
for the better. Changes made this year in
curriculum will affect next year's students.
For instance, cell biology was made a
requirement for freshmen and sophomores;
they must also take ten other science
credits. Juniors and seniors, however, will
need only ten credits in science to
graduate.
In addition, college prep chemistry
was changed to just chemistry, and
descriptive chemistry was dropped.
Through all the problems and im-
provements, the science department still
managed to teach such things as gravity,
cells, and chemistry so students could
understand themselves and their environ-
ment better.
