Science Dept. Enlarges With Addition of Planetarium Expeditions through the woods, star-gazing, step- by-step instructions on frog dissection, candle watching—the mere mention of these scientific en¬ deavors brings many fond memories to anyone who has ever taken science and the students of Falls Church High School are no exception. Mysterious, foul-smelling brews; pink-eyed rabbits, volcanic eruptions, were just a few of the everyday occurences experienced throughout the science wing. Plush couches, blue skies, a silver moon, a fading sun, and innumerable stars, were all a part of the newest edition to the science wing, the planetarium. With all the latest equipment, the planetarium intro¬ duced another facet to the scientific study pursued in the F.C.H.S. Science Department. Mr. Weaver contemplates disposal of the mounting collection of frog legs. Mr. Ring defies his students to determine his age through carbon deterioration. 25
