The lab assistants have it a little bit | easier though. Although they only get | one-half year credit they don’t seem to | mind. When asked why they liked being | a lab assistant Laura Gantt replied, “Because | can tell the sophomores what to do.’ Todd Hoppes had a more practical reason, “’I like working as an SS CL assistant because | can gain experience | in Biology. Marine Biology might be my Mg major in college.’’ In addition to Ifa] e Sty helping with labs, making slides, and y cleaning up the back room, the lab assistants are also required to make a Miss Lisa Lyons, winner of the 79-80 germ queen | the que e nN project that can be used in the room. contest. Cocci, Bacilla, and Spirilla were the main attributes of the new 79-80 Germ i Queen, Lisa Lyons. The purpose of the Fa @ contest was to provide some colonies for class study and to show the abundance of bacteria while having fun at the same time. Each of the four candidates, Chris Edwards, Kathy Edwards, Denise Williams, and Lisa Lyons had to go through three | competitions. First, the breath test. Each girl had to cough her little germs away into a petri dish. Next was the hair competition. The girls took turns shaking their dandruff and oil residue into the dish. Last but not least was the Nightmare germ competition. Each girl left the petri dish in their room overnight as they snoozed. The winner | was the girl with the widest variety of germs which unfortunately was Lisa. | When asked how she felt when she received the great honor of being germ queen she replied, ‘“Mad and embarrassed!” then she added “Ron McKee, Keith Larsen, and Lisa Lackey still call me scum queen when they see me.” Wanda Woods, Rhonda Brooks, Laura Gantt, Todd Hoppes are this year’s lab assistants.
