Clattering test tubes and other scientific apparatus forewarned us: Student sci- entists had landed! Students anticipated the judging of their projects in early April. Amateur beaker sneakers and Karma seekers had a chance to compete in five catagories. Vicki Fuller was awarded first place in Biology, while Science Club presi- dent lim Urscheler receiv- ed first in Chemistry. lean-Pierre Hill and David Zartman nabbed first place in the Physics division. Top honors in Sociology and Pyschology fell to Alice Horton and Fred Galligan respectively. School winners advanced to Statewide competition at the Carolina Coliseum. At Columbia, Hill and Zartman claimed third in physics, in addition to the photography naval and oceanography awards for The Diffraction of Sound Waves. Galligan also claimed third in his division for Transcendental meditation. And here's yours! Awarded second place in the Chemistry division, AnnAMarie Fisher receives her certificate from Science Club president. Iames Urscheler. l Short-circuited brains 114 Science Fair

Frogs and piglets were e unfortunate victims eager anatomy and biol- students. Scalpels and pins in hand, they set forth to explore internal organs. Physics students get down to the logical side ' of science with statistic and electronics. When things get boring inside some classes re- treated to the outdoors to take soil samples, plant and observe. The requirement of lab books sent many students to stock up on coffee, as they labored into the night making sure every ex- periment was documented. Sometimes, when enthu- siasm lagged, recharging was necessary. The Iunior Academy of Science's Winter Workshop provided a wel- come relief from the class- room blahs, When they ar- rived in Charleston, stu- dents attended lectures and demonstrations, along with doing a bit of star gazing. Students strived for awareness of the world that surrounded them . . . the wonder of it. And what better way than science or reading? P. Livingston, I presume
