Student congress, a practice in parliamentary pro- cedure, is being held this year at the Excelsior from November 9- ll. enny Whiteman and Mark Moix were the delegates to boys state. The two of them were selected to go and learn about the way that our government is run.

ending a helping hand, Brian Ed- mondson and Doug Staneart build a science project which would auto- malically turn on a light. In the LAA-B New Experiences In Learning First, the chemicals were mixed together. Then there was an explosion. Finally, the glass melted. That was the end result of one lab that was per- formed in Mr. Woods' physics class. Labs offered new insights to students who took such clas- ses as biology, physiology, chemistry, or foreign lan- guages. In chemistry, labs were per- formed to help the students better understand how matter reacts with other matter. In my chemistry class, we do so many different labs and exper- iments. For example, one day we did a lab where we took a certain piece of paper and put a colored mark on it. We dipped it into a solution and when we took it out, the colors that were on it were the pri- mary colors that, when com- bined, made the original color that we put on paper. Say we put the color green on paper. When we took it out of the so- lution, the colors that were on it were yellow and blue, said Eric Booth. Labs in foreign language consisted mainly of cassette tapes that helped the students train their ears to distinguish certain sounds and syllables. When we first worked with the lab in French, I thought it was so hard because the speak- ers talked so fast, and it was hard to understand. After a while, though, I found that it was easier and I could under- stand a lot more than I could at first, said Ashleigh Zim- merebner. In all, labs basically had the same effects: students learned more about their subject and experienced new techniques in learning, too. In the Lob
