N Stuff Industries, Parents Donate Science Equipment New equipment and field trips were among the happenings in the Science Department this year. lt started with the donations of an analytical balance by an anonymous Southside parent. In addition, Planter's Peanuts donated an elec- tronic analytical balance, a vacuum pump, and a constant temperature water bath for bacteria to the chemistry class. United States Forgecraft, a business that adopted Southside, donated test tube stands and Chemistry ll books. Coatings and Plastics also donated solution manuals and lab manuals for chemistry classes. Nick Woolbright, senior, said, I think the school ought to have more equipment to help more students. Steve Niss, iunior chemistry stu- dent commented, That's great. They need it because the chemistry class doesn't have enough equipment. At the first of the year, we had to make our own balances out of wood, plastic butter dishes, and things like that, explained Leslie Caron, sophomore. They were very ineffi- cient and Mrs. Van Cleave was very happy to get the new balance. New material, however, was not all that attracted students attention. Early in the year, Mrs. Janice Van Cleave took her physics classes on a field trip to Hot Springs. They toured Mid-America Museum and retrieved information concerning different laws covered by physics. One part of biology ls looking at things through a microscope.
