1 1: T Termites draw bug collectors Physicists measure canine tooth pressure on pizza Exploring the internal organs of frogs, sharks, crayfish and worms were on the list of things in the biology and oceanography classes. ln addition Mr. Ed Fulton's oceanography class took a trip to Port Aransas where they studied at the Univer- sity of Texas Marine and Science Institute with oceanographer Mr. Rick Tennin. I thought the trip was interesting, especially the boat ride we took, where we saw some porpoises swimming along side the boat, Mr. Fulton said. Collecting insects brought last minute biology students to the journalism room for termites. During class, Mr. Marvin Reed took the collectors on specimen hunts outside weather permitting. 'iThe insect collection was fun, but dissecting the frog was gross, junior Tracie Jones said. However in Mr. Reed's physics class they compared the shape and size of doughnuts and doughnut holes. We went to the Birdville Stadium and measured horse power. The students ran up and down the bleachers. We also measured the canine tooth pressure of humans on pizza, Mr. Reed remarked. Gas properties and chemical organics, and nuclear studies were conducted in chemistry classes. Most students take the class because they are interested in the different types of energy sources and organisms, Mr. Chip Evans, chemistry instructor, saidl SCIENCE

Seminars add up TCJC contest sparks 15 winners Two + two : four. X + Y : 2XY. Angle SPR : SP + PR - math, algebra, geometry . . . These are a challenge or rather a hand- full of trouble to most students but to a few whiz kids, these arithmetic problems are just routine. One after another testy math problem was thrown at 80 students from the math department escorted by Mrs. Alline Payne at The Third Annual School Mathematics Competition hosted by Tarrant County Junior College Northeast Campus. Out of the 1500 students that attended, 15 students came back with awards. James Miller placed ninth in trigonometry. A team consisting of Neal Quimby, Maria Rodela, Bennett Howell, and Mary Trimble tied for fifth place in a test that included geometry, algebra and trigonometry. Introductory Algebra II placed five win- 5 ilt 1,41 Calculating and computing, senior Jessie Ellison uses the Pet computers as an aid to his physics and chemistry assignments.

MATH ners, with second place to Laura Maturo, third place to Donna Jackson, and a three way tie for eighth between Lelaina James, Laura Yanes and Debra Montgomery. Fundamentals of Math also placed five winners including first place to Tanya Green, second to Jeff Murphy, fifth to Tim Dykes, eighth to Willie Henderson and eleventh to Craig Thompson. Earlier in the year to get warmed up for the contest, the math department traveled to North Texas State University in Denton and attended the Eleventh Annual Overheads were a familiar sight to geometry and algebra students in Mrs. Charlotte Masters' classes as she explains problems on the screen. EQ 2- '31 Mathematics Day for high school students. Students had 15 sessions to choose from to attend during the day ranging from a discussion of the mathematics and physics of the brain to a session on how to cut cake fairly. Regarding the contests and seminars the students attended, Mrs. Alline Payne said, I think we made a good showing. l . . , WW? . f i
