In these small classes students were able to get a behind the scenes experience of what really goes on in the Science Dept. said Don Ephgrave. Along with setting up labs for other students in biology and chem' istry, the lab aids also completed the me- nial task of grading papers and cleaning up after teachers in the storage rooms, Contrary to popular belief, Lab Man- agement was not just a blow off credit, you learn a lot, and if you have a good Chris Campbell shows the proper technique in handling dead lrogs. attitude you may even get a good rec- ommendation from a teacher for college, said Steven Gurnsey. Admittedly, a little knowledge of sci- ence was preferable, but with the skills learned, a college science course could be made easier. The different perspective these stu- dents got in setting up labs, sometimes gave lab aids an advantage over others who were given the materials to work with, whereas lab aids must make the labs from scratch. We learn by doing, said A. J. Acevedo, Jennifer Williams explores the dirty side of being a lab aid. g 3 if

wtltlili war of the wink .J - -Y I E' n early October, physics students were 1 is g H asked by congressmen Robert Sload I i i and Tesa Hickey to construct a mech- anism which would toss oversized tiddly winks across enemy lines. The object, according to the physics teacher, was to make students use log- ic, background, and ideas to solve the problem. Each launcher was to be designed to get the farthest distance and the best 3 tt- 'V , . ., g-If w n S' ,s , , accuracy. Students are usually instructed step by step, Sload said. I presented the problem and they had to solve it on their own. Doug Dellmore said he learned to ac- tually take a concept used in physics and get hands on experience. Sload said the most important thing that his students learned was to have fun in physics. Anything looks good on paper, the fun comes in actually making your ideas work, said Chris Kinney, junior. Doug Dellmore and friends successfully beat the school record for wink in a bucket. :M .tmzseif 1, -if-'.xf 'r'3S .. ' Q Q aQ'. J I t Vt. , .
