Science Fair Draws Alchemist Interest Rapidly expanding scientific horizons inspired the Alchemists to investigate many areas of sci¬ ence research. Guest speakers enabled the group to understand many viewpoints in scientific pro¬ cedure. Projects of individual members included a study of crystals and crystal-growing, the effect of rock-and-roll on hamsters, building a solar cell, and construction of a tesla coil. Exciting scientific investigations were learned by all Alchemists on field trips. The members at¬ tended the Engineer ' s Fair at Raleigh and the Science Fair at Wake Forest. The biggest trip of the year was to Oak Ridge, Tennessee to ob¬ serve the nuclear reactor and visit the museum. Wayne Parrish, Robert Hege, and Mr. Huffaker observe habits of hamsters for a research project. Alan Hovis ond Lionel Hill experi¬ ment with a high voltage tesla coil.
