Caution With Bunsen Burners Be sure to add acid to water became rather repetitious to the chemistry students in their efforts to avoid an explosion which would bring an end to the Academy. These girls soon learned to be cautious with the Bunsen burners also after one or two fingers felt the heat that the oxidation of a gas can produce. And after that first horrible whiff, few girls sniffed hard to identify ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, or hydrogen chloride. Unsteady fingers soon learned the art of using a holder to handle heated test tubes. Theories learned in the classroom were veri- fied in the laboratory. The demonstration proving that carbon is found in sugar con- vinced everyone as the class saw a black column rising from the beaker. ln the classroom, terms of the vernacular took on new meanings as the iuniors learned the difference between acids, bases, and salts. Faces changed from perplexity to wonder at the skill of Mendeleyev as the periodic table was studied and mastered. Problems, prob- lems, and more problems were worked until these chemists wondered what kind of math course chemistry was! I wonder if it would be all right to add some H,SO,? says Anita Jachim to her lab partners Marcia Michalski and Juliet Power. 1 in Y lg 4 T L Diane TheYS 53 Judith Timlin ' mf- Annalee Toll 4, i Q QTL5 Qi Q' h ll A g Q iiyg g S Christine Tutai sessl iii i A , V , Lia Vanderveldt
