SCIENCE —When math teachers Broman, Modlin, and Soper insisted that one plus one equaled ten, confusion reigned. Looking through the doors of the past, we recall the time when one plus one equaled two. How¬ ever, our age of computers requires a differ¬ ent number base. In addition to the science of math are chemistry and physics. Enthusi¬ asm for these subjects resulted in perfectly formed crystals and in teresting projects. 9
