As Juniors, we took a special interest in the Science Fair of '57, as the Chemistry exhibit was 9504, the work of our class. Months before the Fair, we pondered and considered the type of proiect we thought we could successfully cope with and demonstrate intelligently. This is what we contributed to the Science Exhibit.

I U Aifrlllr is .ii SIX Way lt- IO lllU.ll.lA1 Falun ii HOME MADE SOAP For the first time in the history of the school, science students invited parents and friends to attend their science exhibit in the school gym- nasium, May 3, l956. Prior to this time, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics proiects were exhibited in their respective classrooms. The success of this consolidation of all science exhibits made it evident that the gym was the ideal place and the time in mid-spring when the thump of the basketball was no longer heard. We congratulate the seniors of '57 for their fine displays in the field of Physics, Biology, and Chemistry, in the l957 Science Fair, April IO, ll, 12, held for the second time in the gym. The Physics students showed electricity in all its forms-electric bells, magic eye, banjo, and motors being among the many and varied proie ects. Senior Biology pupils contributed some very informative and colorful proiects ranging from the development and parts of a flower to African violets. These senior scientists were on the iob to demonstrate and explain their various proiects to the many students, parents, and friends who attended the exhibit and by their interest en' couraged the young scientists, Ex Yemql Srrucrure W the sum th, 7 1 X4
