74 QM! 7 mag! ...52... Scieace . . . Physics students Tony Witt and Dan Weikel test one of the various effects produc- ed by liquid nitrogen. Hands well protected by rubber gloves, Mary Ann McSherry and Dan Borucki pour radioactive salts on the roots of several plants. On the left, Francis Reidy envelops in Saran Wrap the plants which have already absorbed the salts, thus preparing them to place on X-ray film for exposure. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the amount of radioactivity picked up by various plants. Science Club members Mitchell Klaus, Barbara Spratt, Andy Schumacher, and Alan Pason dem- onstrate the effects on fire of foamite manuf- actured by them from baking soda, licorice, and aluminum sulphate.

Only in knowing and appre- ciating the origin and devel- opment of nations, the ideals and traditions of past gener- ations can modern youth acquire a love of country leading to intelligent service of God and his fellowmen.
