Barbara Stallings Chosen As Westinghouse Finalist Destruction of Red Blood Cells by Non-comple- ment Binding Antibodies was the title of Barbara Stallings Westinghouse Science Talent Search project. The purpose of her project was to test the theory held by many hematologists that certain antibodies cause red blood cells to become brittle. Under this theory the red blood cells bread up and are destroyed when they go through small capillaries. Through work on her pro- ject Barbara proved this theory false and proposed a new hypothesis. To complete her research work, Bar- bara used the facilities in the lab of Good Samaritan Hospital. Barbara was an active member of Girls' League and Parnassus. She was also named a finalist in the National Merit Scholarship contest. To qualify for a position as semi-finalist in the Talent Search, contestants took a comprehensive test and submitted their research project, teacher recom- mendation, and transcript. In the past twentyone years, North has had six Westinghouse finalists and fifty honorable mentions. Barbara Stallings devoted much of her time to working on her Westinghouse research project which dealt with red blood cells This project was one of the requirements of the Science 21

Westinghouse participants were Martha Stellhorn, Benny Simmons, Leonard Bafaloukos, Wil- liam Mitchell, Robert C. Lutz, Barbara Stallings, Sheri Arentz, Carole Grosser, Gary Tizard, and Donald Vinson. The students were all seniors. North Sponsored Ten Westinghouse Participants Each year a national Science Talent Search is sponsored by the Westinghouse Corporation. There are four requirements that a student must meet to enter the contest. The student must get a teacher's recommendation, take the Westing- house test, fill out a personal data sheet, and do a research project. North had ten entrants in the contest. Their names and rojects are as follows: A eri rentg- sa is mento ormal Values for Serum Beta-Lipoproteins of High School Age Bill Mitchell- Desalination of Slightly Saline Water by Electrodialysis Using Animal Mem- branesf' Benny Simmons- Physiological Effects of Ion- ized Air.
