I Love Rock-n-Roll Students pantomime to favorite rock songs. On November 19, we were fortunate enough to have some of our school talent emerge during the Air Band contest. This was when contes- tents acted out songs in a band formation. They used all kinds of different objects from tennis 74 F Air Band raquets to beer tap handles for their performance. The crowd was mezmorized by the static on the stage. The winners of first lunch were Darryl Tracy on the drums, Gary Robinson playing lead guitar, Kevin Markham on bass guitar, and Keith Mark- ham strumming the rythm gui- tar. They were imitating the Def Leopard Band singing Bring On The Heartache. ----- !

Bridge Over Troubled Water Troy McLaughlin's bridge holds at 151 lbs. With 30 feet of balsa wood, a Ms oz. tube of Testor's balsa ce- ment, and hopefully a strong plan, the physics class set out in a competition of stress, force and torque. Each individual was assigned over a two week period to build a bridge 16 inches long with an open span 10 inches in length, and at least 2 inches in height. At maximum, the bridge could not exceed 16 inches, and only 4 pieces of balsa wood would be glued lengthwise. No heat was applied to the contructions. 10- 18 hours of delicate work led up to December 13th, the day of testing. The structure was placed on a support jig with a bathroom scale as a measuring device. Sol- id pressure was applied until the bridge collapsed under pres- sure. The winners of the contest were Troy McLaughlin - 151 lbs, Brian Bucher - 99 lbs., Tracy Morales and Cary Siemers - 89 lbs. ln bridge building's nine year his- tory, the strongest bridge was build by Mr. Doniak. His bridge held 222 lbs. 1. Gary Robinson watches bridge dur- ing test. 2. Physics class, bridge building contest. 3. Mike Adams and Brian Bucher show off their bridges. 4.
