Contemplating Evolution Of Civilization Living near Washington is like a long, noisy Fourth of July celebration. With firecracker unpredictability, historic events explode constantly with a blinding (lash. Soon we become not only accustomed to it but almost deaf. Fortunately a great variety of social studies courses of- fered at B-CC revives our interest. As we study, our imagination enables us to climb the pyramids or cross the Alps on an elephant. We return to reality with endless debates and thought-provoking discus- sions of current events. Whether we arc militant debaters or quiet note-takers, we are deeply interested; so interested that we may still be mulling over the problem at lunch, after school, or at potluck. Even if the debates arc never resolved, we have learned something many of us have never known before— there is more to a newspaj cr than the sports section.

Asking our neighbors isn’t always cheating. Seniors have a jam session on Crime and Punishment. Empty shelves mean busy students. Book chairman Mrs. Marquez finds another copy of David Coppcrfield. Through Practice, Speech, And Drama Urged on by love, fear, and irritation, Miss Casey’s rapid learners analyze A Portrait of the Artist and To the Lighthouse. An- guished moans and shrieks of joy denote “Hopelessly Mediocre” or Effective” writing. 27

Gcdilcs and Darrel Gregory with the help of Acquiring Knowledge “T-i-g-e-r,” we chemistry students mutter under our breath; “B-a-n-a-n-a-s.” For the benefit of the uninformed. “Tiger” and “Bananas” arc code names to help us remember those complex chemical compounds. Across the hall in Biology, we found that even a one- celled amoeba is a complexity worthy of two weeks of de- tailed study—and homework. Wrapped in a neat cellophane bag and saturated with formaldehyde, the dissected cat was the culminating experience in Biology II. In Scientific Fields pressure normal.

B.A. We found that there were many things to be learned in Physics besides tangential velocity and the electric field. The proper ways to hang a clothesline or lift a piano through a fifth-story window were also included in the course of study. It was hard work, but as we mixed chemicals and dissected radish seedlings, we began to realize that science is not to be confined to a laboratory or classroom. It is to be carried wherever we go as a key to understanding. MR. WINFIELD S. BURKHOLDER. B.S. . . . MR. JOSEPH PAUL CAMPI- TELL. B.S.. M.Ed.; Science Club . . . MR. H. KENNETH EDWARDS.
