Cadets find real color in science studies COL. J. C. McCUE, JR. B.S., M.S. University of Virginia; Aca¬ demic Board; Science; Mathe¬ matics; Alumni News. CAPT. JOHN A. BRADFORD B.A. Randolph Macon College; Physical Science; Astronomy; Physics; Dancing. What color precipitate do you have? . . . Check the color of that mineral . . . The portal system is in yellow ... A BLUE spark? . . . yes, indeed, science courses at Augusta are veritable kaleidoscopes in themselves. Astronomy, physical science, biology, chemistry, and physics give each student a wide choice of sub¬ ject matter, and for the potential scientist, a solid background can be obtained. Elated were the biology students in January when they moved to new and enlarged quarters. Helping maintain interest throughout the course was the stereo-scope and the B L projector-scope. Chemists found qualitative lab work colorful and interesting. Moon shots, cosmonauts and astronauts kept the astronomy students busy answering ques¬ tions from less well-informed fellow cadets. Radia¬ tion checks and experiments kept physics students busy . . . now, if the chemists could only make H S smell good! PURPLE FLUORITE . . . Dodge Rader and Doug Boger study the formation and hardness of fluorite. Mineralogy proved to be one of the most interesting parts of the physical science course at Augusta. MAKING A PIG OF HIMSELF . . . George Tompkins tries to keep Henry Nicol from having all the fun of dissecting a pig embryo, but Nick wants to keep up his almost perfect grade.

INTENSE INTEREST . . . Col. McCue ' s physics class displays concentration as they try to see the blue spark from the electro¬ static generator. Manuel de la Concha, Jim Jones, and Bill Dorton see it, and later on they felt the charge! Pulley, fulcrum, sound and radiation ... all had a work out in physics. Major Michael E. Kivlighan B.S., LL B. Georgetown University; Uni¬ versity of Virginia; Bayo¬ net ; Book Room; Assistant Commandant; Biology; Physi¬ cal Science. SMELLS AND COLORS . . . Larry Bradbury, Bob Ridgeway, Norm Strehle, Bob Gebeaux, John Einstein, Bill Brooks and Jack Woodson check for yellow, black, red, or white precipitates in qualitative labora¬ tory. Tri-X film allowed no flash ... no knowledge that this was being put on film. 23 IM
