Missing The Space Shuttle Columbia The science department tries to give its students firsthand experience as much as possible. This includes working experiments in chemistry and dissecting fetal pigs and white rats in biology. In fact, the science department gave approxi- mately 10 students the opportunity to see the launch of the Space Shuttle Colum- bia. Unfortunately, the Florida-bound Lancers missed the launch when it was postponed. Filling vacancies occupied the math department through most of the spring. Mrs. Yates, Mr. Hodnett, and Mrs. Par- sons all left for other occupations. De- spite the losses, it did manage to sponsor the math contest which was won by Mi- chael Pemberton. Pretending to be a mad scientist, Junior Glenn Sides mixes a chemical solution as Robert Turner explains what to do next. Help me!
