Science Opens Doors The more knowledge a man gathers, the less he knows. Man is educated to ask why and, as he searches for the an- swer, more complex questions come to mind. The man realizes that even though he knows some answers, there are an infinate number of questions be- fore him. From the smallest cell, to the far-flung reaches of space, man probes over and onward in his quest of knowledge. Senior Steve Stier pursued the smaller farms of life while Senior Ricky Kintz aimed for the stars. Steve worked for the identification of plants by their stomata. (The air holes in the leaves.) Ricky was a Regional winner of the Space Shuttle In- volvement Project with his experiment. Kintz worked with formation of alloys in a gravity free atmosphere. Club Sponsor Jhon McCory puts it, Even in ordinary places there are beautiful things to see. You ' ve got to look, but they are there. The science department has found en- rollment steadily growing larger. Mr. Levy believes the reason for the higher attendance is due to the increasing num- ber of science related jobs. And by the year 2000 much more so- phisticated equipment will be provided for daily activities. You will soon discov- er in your quest for more knowledge how little you know. by Karen Ehle Junior Beth Richardson looks at flowers un- der a microscope in Mr. Levy ' s biology class. photo by Charlotte Atherton Senior Rick Kintz, chosen to participate in NASA 5 Space Shuttle program, experiments in chemistry class. photo by Jeff DeVille Mr. Jacob Baker tells his first period Astron- omy class to look to the stars, even if they are only in the planetarium. photo by Charlotte Atherton 22 — Science
