New Materials Enable Greater Exploration With the hope of enabling stu- dents to explore and experiment in greater depth, new lab materials were purchased for the physics and microbiology courses. Avail- able to microbugs this year were six new microscopes with oil im- mersion lens, a microprojector, and a water bath for testing water samples to determine the presence of pollutants. Physics students, aided by new battery operated timers, were able to examine data results and compare the change in acceleration of a car attached to a pulley when varying forces acted upon it. Also, calculators made any necessary computation quite easy and time saving. In physiology class Frank Kozar. FH athletic di- rector and biology teacher, discusses the struc- ture of the human jaw.

As concert time grows near, chorus members intently watch as Sam Coco signals to commence practice. Coco Creates Voice Ensemble Striving to give students the ulti- mate opportunity to express their in- born creativity, a new forty-six voice ensemble, under the direction of Sam Coco, became a reality at Forest Hills this year. Only those chorus members best qualified were chosen to challenge the college level songs. Embodied in both the Christmas and Spring Con- certs, the ensemble also performed at the Richland Mall during the Christmas season.
