Did you see? Being able to see what's going on in the classroom is a big part of learning. Everyday students look at their books, look at the board, look at the teacher. The looking never ends. Not being able to see well can hinder education, and often students are more concerned with look- ing good rather than with seeing well. But, the miraculous in- vention of contact lenses has made the term four eyes obsolete. Now contact lenses not only make it possible for students to see better, now teacher, explains the Amer- ican democratic process of the presidential primary. 1 ngliclicving they can change the color of their eyes with the new colored contact lenses. I've never tried the col- ored ones, but my soft reg- ular ones, have been won- derful, Shelly Whitlock, junior, said. However, some students still prefer to wear their glasses.

Yum-Yum. Mandy Dougherty and Kathy McLaughlin, juniors, savor the smell of ice cream cre- ated in chemistry lab. lu Oooooh! What is that awful smell? Iackie Iuranek, junior, asked. Her question wasn't an uncommon one. How many times did you hear the same thing asked in biology, chem- istry, home economics, or just in the hallway? There were several classes in which smell played a major role. Can't you just smell that freshed baked bread, or that fantastic aroma of chocolate cake coming from the home economics lab? Home economics dealt with a lot of great smelling foods, but the odor coming from the bi- ology room was not al- ways as appealing as those produced in the home ec kitchen. When we're dissect- ing, it smells like dead cows, Bernadette Tor- res, sophomore, said. Did biology really smell that bad? Some said Yes, it Waiting for a break.

They learned that there is more to rais- ing a project than just feeding and petting it. Students in chemistry classes learned to toler- ate the smell of sulphur and other chemicals. I think chemistry smells like formu1as! Missi Woodard, junior, said. Darkroom chemicals also produced an odor that photographers couldn't seem to get rid of. Even though I wash my hands when I'm fin- ished printing pictures, they still smell like fixer for the rest of the day, Paul Fisher, yearbook photographer, said. Although a distinct smell is generally not associated with English. Spanish, French or jour- nalism classes, the stu- dents in rooms along the 500 hall learned not only to live with the smell of popcorn coming from the teachers' lounge, but they also made it through the whole year without bolting from class and running across the hall to sample the snack which tempt- ed them daily. l4l BWI Nm., In a Sense v !f?T5 7-Q:
