Our minds need relaxation, and give way unless we mix with work a little play. -Moliere Look Out! Mr. Steelhead, what are you most proud of in Blair's P.E. Depart- ment? The way our program in racket skills is going. Tennis, bad- minton, racket ball. Our golf class. Water sports. We're teaching water skiing in the pool with a rope and three students as a boat. Probably most of all, my cycling class 4th period. We're out in the community several times a week. lf it were solely up to you, would you make any changes in the program? l'd require all participants to dress uniformly, do mass calisthenics, and shower after class. Mr. Steelhead is Blair's new P.E. Department Chairman and this is what he is going to do, Look out flab! 51 g'. . j pill 'L '---- ti, ,t.,. er 'Q 4 I if ,- I , ., .1-my fm, tv x...': ,t Q 15155 to 1 l A S l 'F , ,, 3' g W ,,,!-i h - W W . - N -1 31 it Qty 1 .f-l , t in 1 Ms. Jordan i Mr. Matuszak Miss McCummins Mr. Molloy Mr. Plante Mr. Steelhead

fCC?lfEW7CC-36 Science Gives Insight Into Cutside World A sharp knife glides down the belly of a shark, exposing a complicated pattern of muscles and veins. ls this a scene from the hit movie, t'Jaws'? No, it just happens to be an average day in the Blair Biology class, while they're dissect- ing a shark. Nearby on A campus, students are seen enjoying some good, old-fashioned, homemade vanilla ice cream. Has 31 Flavors opened a new ice cream parlor? No, it's the Blair chemistry class enjoy- ing ice cream made from the world-famous Molal Freezing Point Depression experiment. In another classroom, a laser beam effortlessly reflects off various surfaces. Has Blair developed a top-secret weapon? Wrong again, it's only the physics class experimenting with the characteristics of a laser beam. A ABOVE: With the room darkened, Mr. Hsu is able to demonstrate to his physics class the properties of light with a laser beam. RIGHT: There is a time for fun in all science classes as Keven Clancy proves by his hair-raising experience with Mr. Hsu's static electricity generator, few doors down, the scene resem- bles a Red Cross Blood Bank, with everyone drawing out his blood. But looking again, it turns out to be department chairman Herb Cohen and his physiology class, busy determining each of their blood types. With such diversity in science, all students had a chance to choose which areas interested them the most, and then perform some of the fascinating and sometimes delicious experiments mentioned. Others had a chance to take the science survey courses, which concentrated sub- jects like zoology or life science into a one semester course. Whether it was in a one-year class or a survey course, science enabled all students to learn about themselves and about the world around them.
