BHS students shun ' ' mad” image In every good monster movie there is a per- son who is always present. He is the mad scien- tist. The familiar story of a deranged maniac hiding behind an unassuming, mild-mannered chemist is all too familiar. BHS students don ' t fit the Jekyll-Hyde mold, however. Physics is not the glamour of moon shots or the China Syndrome, but lots of difficult concepts re- quiring plenty of study and homework. Braintree students also get elbow deep in chemistry and biology experiments using specimens for dissection and study or chemi- cals to test their reactions when combined. It is all pretty ordinary stuff, not at all the Jekyll- Hyde image of Hollywood melodramas. Cheryl Denton and Mary Riordan are careful to pour the chemicals correct- ly for their lab experiment. Dissecting strange looking specimens is part of the joy of biology as Ms. Storms is quick to explain to Dave Goldman. Julie Lynch practices her technique with the microscope in preparation for a possible future career in science. 16
