Afternoon science classes see methods of detecting radiation shown 61 Mr. Neal Ambron, Atomic Energy Commission. Caviar is not his goal, but Mark Toivnsend is apt to find alarming facts about eggs beneath a microscope. Safety comes first, as Mr. Bailey instructs Jim McPherson on how to use the acid eye-rinser. Debbie Gillenioater observes.

Class-lab areas handy for science New spacious storage rooms and lab- class areas separated by a half-wall gave a highlighting effect to BHS and also helped broaden the experience of science students. Biologists were aided by the use of 20 new monocular microscopes with zoom lenses. 14 stereo microscopes and one automotive autoclave. Chemistrv students were introduced to a new still which sometimes caused confusion if one didn ' t know it was only for distilling water. New electric equipment — for example, the oscilloscope — was useful to physics students. Science Department Chairman John Cahill. plus five other science teachers, helped inform and stimulate the quizzi- cal minds of science students. Gentle and cautious hands explore through bullfrogs ' remains in bi( ogy labs.
