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.

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.

Attaining Proficiency In Mathematics Classmates bury themselves in a morass of meaningless numbers and triangles which may or may not be congruent. Outside the classroom door, two repairmen begin working. In reality they arc not noisy but to the would-be mathema- ticians the sound of their voices is magnified 1000 times. In response to the anguished murmurs of his pupils, the teacher goes to the door and closes it firmly. The chatter is instantly replaced by the ringing of the bell, the death-knell for many dreams of success in mathematics. This scene is repeated again and again at B-CC, usually on a hot, sticky Friday afternoon. The individual who can lose himself in the delightful accuracy of mathematics is rare and fortunate. Most of us must be content to struggle and hope for the best. But whether we learn to reason in abstract terms through algebra or in concrete terms through geometry, we are ac- quiring the mental discipline and practical knowledge nec- essary for an orderly, well-balanced life.
