The speaker of the evening was the distinguished scientist, Dr. George Beadle, 1958 Nobel Prize Winner. According to Dr. Beadle this was his last speaking engagement due to a time-demanding project. The program included the presentation of the judges and the guest by lon Eichstaedt, Science Club President. Mr. Bris- by introduced Dr. Beadle who spoke on The Language of the Gene and Man's Future. After his address Dr. Beadle personally presented the awards to the winners of the Science Fair. Dr. Beadle's address consisted mainly of the explanation of the human egg and the environmental and cultural inher- itance in the gene makeup. To simplify his explanation he used a cake recipe as an illustration of what an egg is and the ingredients from which it is made. The Awards Banquet prefaced the opening of the Science Fair which again was held in the Memorial Building because of the quantity of exhibits and also the large crowds. The fair, which consisted of approximately fifty-eight projects, was open during the week to the public. . The fair consisted of three divisions. Students who were eligible for the senior or junior division entered their exhibits under either the physical or biological categories. The elementary- division was not eligible for competition. All of the entrants received certificates of placement. The senior division entrants who placed first received trophies, the second through fifth places received medals. The junior division entrants who placed first, second, and third all received medals. The entrants who received the highest number of points in the judging in the junior division and the senior division were awarded sweepstakes trophies. The junior division sweepstakes winner was Doug Fisher who entered an exhibit which illustrated the effects of tran- quilizers on rats. Larry Yount, winner of the senior division trophy, displayed a frictionless disk which glided on a film of carbon dioxide produced by evaporating dry ice.

gxckange .S?U6!Qlflf When you ask me to compare Fillmore Union High School with the Gymnasium of Horn, Austria, I have fo ask you to realize that the pur- pose and the idea of both schools are different, and therefore, differences exist which might make you think that education is much better there than here. The purpose of the Gymnasium is to prepare students for university or college. That means that these students choose an academic career, and we can only compare these students with those taking the college prepara- tion classes in Fillmore. Therefore, we can study regardless of the students with less ability who do not want to go to college because they can attend other schools, like trade schools or become craftsmen. With this idea of educating youngsters only for their later advancement to the university, one big mistake happens. We do not get experience in leadership because there is little opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities in school. ln fact, we have no social activities in our schools com- pared with the American schools. There are no clubs, or student administra- tion, or athletic games with other schools. Although this gives us more time to study, again, l believe that these social activities are as important as some of the subjects we have. So I will conclude, that both schools have advantages and 6 HElNRlCH KREISSL 4545 'X 3. S 1 disadvantages, and both must be improved. Ours must me be modernized in many ways, and the American 3, melts' schools should give students a better chance for me cunt'-2, me WWF' an academic career. mme, wwe og HOW 'S Q85 .
