Lab aided personal coraraunlcatlon In a room of telephone apparatus, French, Spanish and German students learned their respective languages with the help of new language laboratory equipment. With emphasis on translating correct- ly more than speaking the language, Mr. Leech ' s Latin students participated in such games as Latin Bingo. They also commemorated Caesar ' s death on the Ides of March by wearing mourning arm patches. Instruction in the polka, directed by Mr. Reiser ' s student teacher. Miss Gill- man, added interest to German classes. Students also wrote German poetry and gave skits in the language. Honor students of Mrs. Ofelia Bur- ton ' s Spanish classes participated in the 1970 National Spanish Examination series. The oral and written test was given to both first and second year students. After Miss Mabel Fee showed her French students a film on French recipes, some of the more daring ex- perimented with them, without stomach trouble. French students also played games in French.

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.
