INERTIA MADE ME INERT The unit of time is the tick The unit of force is the band The unit of mass is the brick So says the Great Book we yust scanned Listen closely a stick is no tick Hold the stick not the brick in your hand Got the stick and the tick and the brick With everything going as planned? Now just don t get excrted the trick Comes with practice and that we can stand So what if your shin shows a nick land? This science of Physics is slick Just a t1ck and a br1ck and a band Grab a pencil and graph paper quick' We ll discover the law of the land' With the ticks times the bricks for us h1cks Over sticks minus stretch of the band That we pick these particular ticks Is what old Rank would demand The slope shown by cart mass plus bricks Versus definite mtegrals grand Oh baloney' You stick with Physics Im gonna major in Band' From The Physics Teacher Laura Hood and Anita Armgardt experiment with molecular models.

Debbie Hrejsa attaches the ticker tape timer to the battery in order to time the acceleration of the toy cars. Connie Stimmler reads over the directions for the experiment in which physics students use toy cars and bricks to derive Newton's Second Law. Opening! 11

Is It Fzrna? Or Rather I ecz? , emember science and experi- ments? The two go hand-in-hand ' just like soup and sandwich. Per- haps the Earl that invented those little meat-between-bread meals in the eigh- teenth century had just as much difficul- ty experimenting with food that most CBS students have experimenting with chemicals and toy carts. Experiments at GBS vary from throw- ing darts to find out a probability ratio involving elections to wiggling slinkies to discover how light waves act. Of course there is a more serious side to experimenting too. In order to study molecular structure, chemistry students do an experiment using tinker toy type sticks and balls. And then there is the Physics Phavor- itep students use bricks and little roller skate-type cars to study the relationship between force, mass and acceleration. The experiment has even been immortal- ized, in an anonymously written poem. fSee right-hand page.J The clincher is doing experiments is that they rarely produce the data that the is supposed to be derived. Instead of finding Fzma, a students is more likely to find M:ec which of course isn't right either. All in all, though, experimenting is useful. Where would we be today if Gali- leo hadn't dropped the slinky and the dart from the tower of Pizza? Claire Sente, Suzanne Kaiser, and Beth Calder- wood prepare to time the first fun of their experi- ment as Lisa Hussey gets ready to take the reading. Liz Stump and her lab partner discuss the different structures of molecules. They will later use small balls and sticks to physically construct their find- ings. 1O!Openmg

Cast members give their all during the finale of the NorthfSouth musical production of George M. The advanced commercial art class presented a multi-media rainbow collage which was displayed in the old pit. 121 Opening Senior Amy Kramer gladly receives a long-await- ed diploma, symbolizing four years of hard work at CBS. Linda Peterson gives a waneful smile during a pre-dress rehersal of the spring play The Match- maker. '4 E E E E P
