One of the tying top winners of a trophy was the electron microscope presented to the fair by Bill Bergman. This complicated structure was the product of many hours of research ana HI study. Bill’s microscope took first in the Physics division at the Michigan State Science Fair plus a trophy from the Metropolitan Detroit Science Fair, Sue Larkin and Sue Cushman tied with Bill by an ex- place in chemistry at the Michigan State Science Fair at cellent display on the production of cosmetics. A trophy Central Michigan University, was awarded to them, also. The cosmetics rated a third

Larry Blackett's project, Photomicrography,” was a new and different project presented this year. Larry's ability with photography and his knowledge of the life in water proved to be a medal winning combination. Science Students Gain State Fame Silastic” was the topic of a medal winning project displayed by Linda Chapman. The project was concerned with the durability of the new Silicone rubber. Linda also attended the Michigan State Science Fair and received a first place in the Chemistry division. Challenges of science attracted many students of CHS to the annual Clarkston Science Fair. It could have been the coveted awards or just their interest in science; but for many it provided an opportunity to put to use and demonstrate their knowledge of the science field which interested them most. Bill Bergman and his Electron Microscope tied with Sue Cushman and Sue Larkin who had a display on Cosmetics for top prize winners. Medalists were: Linda Chapman, Silicone Rubber ; Rocky Bullard, The Nervous System of the Heart Electrocardiograms ; Larry Blackett, Photomicrography ; and Ron Fusilier, Steam Engine. All awards were presented by Mr. Terry Thomas. The F.H.A., sponsored by Miss Helen Gernaat presented coffee and cookies to the public and lunch to the judges. It was greatly appreciated. Award winning didn't stop at Clarkston. Bill Bergman went on to take a trophy at The Detroit Science Fair, and on top of this Bill was awarded a Physics first, Sue Larkin and Sue Cushman a Chemistry third, and Linda Chapman a Chemistry first at the Michigan State Science Fair, which took place at Central Michigan University. This was truly a very successful year for Clarkston High science students. Looking to man for his subject, Rocky Bullard contributed a medal winning project on the Nervous System of the Heart Electrocardiograms, complete with a demonstration of the Telecor Cardiac Monitor.
