Science Fair Draws 97 Exhibits Come to the Fair! That was the order ot the day for Sunday, February 28, the date of St. Bede's eighth annual Science Fair. More than five hundred people gathered in the confines of the Abbot Vincent Gymnas- ium to view the triumphs of sci- ence represented by ninety- seven exhibits in chemistry, physics, mathematics and various sciences. Although characterized by a predominance of chemistry projects, the Fair was favored by a wide sampling of the other sciences in projects ranging from the practical Satellite Communi- cations to the theoretical Sets and Systems. The format and organization of the 1965 Science Fair was patterned closely after that of the 1964 Fair, which sent nine representatives to the DeKalb District Fair, three of whom eventually arrived at the state finals in Champaign. Judging for the projects took place between ten and twelve o'clock Sunday morning, while the fair was open for the public's appraisal from one to four o'clock that afternoon. Tom Nagle explains color centers to an inquisitive Barry Burke. While Gregory Baratim prepares to anesthetize one of his subjects for the benefit of Mark Barry and Merle Piacenn, Martin Manning re- views a synopsis of Gregory's Outstanding project.

Thirteen Projects Rate “Outstanding” Once again the organizing and motivating force behind the Sci- ence Fair was the dedicated work of the Bede) Beaker Breakers, St. Bede's science club. Led by their energetic moderator. Father Ber- nard Horzen, O.S.B., and their officers, the Bedey Beaker Break- ers handled the details of arrang- ing and supervising the Fair. A primary concern in the or- ganization of the Science Fair was the selection of the judges, who were chosen from among the teachers and industrial sci- entists of the area. Judges in the various divisions were. Chem- istry: Mr. Kenneth Ficek, Mr. A. P. Liesse, Dr. Eunice Moore, Mr. Joseph Story, Mr. Kenneth Krogulski, Mr. Dom Marchiando and Mr. John Samlin. Mathe- matics: Mr. Carl Gabriel, Mr Charles Keyser, Mr. Woodrow Smith, Mr. Donald Hayden and Mr. Hubert Sarver; Physics: Mr. Mel Hook and Mr. Ralph Preiser: Various Sciences: Mr. Walter Kaszynski.
