Description:	South made much progressin 79-80 science classesThis year Souths science departmentworked to educate its students in biology,chemistry, horticulture, physics, and earthsciences.South made much progress in the sciences during the 1979-80 year. The NorthCentral evaluation acted as a major impetus in bringing about changes. We consider that the inspection we made withinthe department for the North Central evaluation team has provided us with someideas for changes to be more compatiblewith the students, said Orville Long, science department chairperson.One of the major changes of the department was the expansion of the physicsprogram. Also, the horticulture classeslandscaped the south side of the school.Horticulture teacher Marshall Gossemphasized that Souths horticulturedepartment is financially self-sufficient,except for utilities and salaries. The department pays for all its supplies by sellingplants for about one half of what they normally cost in stores.Charles Bundy—long-time faculty member at South, who taught physics, Science9, and general math during the 1979-80school year—retired for health reasons inthe spring.TOP: Closely monitoring the equipment,Brian Oeding completes a chemistryexperiment.MIDDLE LEFT: Chris Eoyang and AnneWhite carefully test the chemicals neededfor their assignment.MIDDLE RIGHT: Science and nature isalso studied outside the classroom.
