13 Receive Outstanding In Since their start at St. Bede a decade ago, science fairs have increased in size and importance each year. One hundred and three exhibitors with ninety- eight projects filled the gym for the 1967 Fair, which closely followed the pattern of the ’66 Fair which sent thirteen repre- sentatives to the District Fair, five of whom eventually arrived at the State Finals in Champaign. Father Bernard and the Becley Beaker Breakers were in charge of the annual event. Sixteen young scientists were awarded outstandings and thirteen re- ceived first place ratings. Several new projects marked the Fair with Radioactivity” ex- hibits gaining the most attention. Christopher I.uppens built his own neon-argon gas laser and was awarded an outstanding. For his efforts, Chris received the Robert Hutchins God- dard medal signifying the best project of the Fair. 22 Stephen Rohlfs, William Kilarski, Timothy Mulvany and Gary Mattingly all qualified for the Northern Illinois District Science Fair at Sycamore with their outstanding projects. Bernard Engels explains his Theory of Probability” project to Bernard Boudreau. Both juniors submitted outstanding exhibits in the February 26 Science Fair. OBABIUt S Angle

Peter And Gordon, Navy Band In To bring some ' big-name” entertain- ment to the area and to increase its own treasury were the two reasons for the Student Council sponsoring Peter and Gordon in concert at St. Bede. After one month of intensive prepara- tion on the part of Father Allen, chairman Thomas Schroer and the executive coun- cil, the night of February 13 brought a huge crowd to the gymnasium for the performance. Ed Mason M.C.ed the show which began with the Regiments” from the U. of I., who played several hit tunes as well as some “oldies”. Next, a local group, the “Vengeance” performed and introduced their new record. After an intermission, the “Mont- clairs from Chicago did a few numbers and then played as the backup group for England’s own Peter Asher and Gordon Waller. The duo performed for nearly an hour and featured their numerous successfu 1 record i ngs. At the show’s end, the audience and the S.B.A.S.C. were well-satisfied. Wearing their Carnaby Street clothes and singing in their English-accented voices, Peter Asher and Gordon Waller entertain a receptive audience with one of their million-sellers I go to pieces . With their four guitars, their long hair and their spirited showmanship, the 'Regiments im- pressed the many who saw them. Evidence of the SBSC’s work awes the multitude at the Peter and Gordon Concert.
