PLANETARIUM ADDED TO Jennie Bouge, Debbie Foster, and Gary Surber stain onion epidermis to observe cells. Susan Maple and Beth Miller find Chemistry quite complicated. Taylor students now have something no other school in Howard County has, a planetarium. The planetari- um is located in the new part of Taylor High School. About 660 stars can be seen in our galaxy while the equipment is in operation. Planets will be colored so the students can recognize them by color. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Neptune, Saturn, Jupiter, the moon, and the sun can all be viewed. The earth can be viewed as to what it looks like from the outside looking in. Paul Eckert and Creed Jones took first place awards in the junior biological division of the Lafayette Regional Science Fair. Their projects were Pho- toperiodism and its Effect on the Rate of Germination and Cell Differentiation of the Fern Spores and Sound and its Effect on the Germination of Fern Spores. Science projects are judged on the basis of ap- pearance, originality of thought, scientific method, clarity of presentation, and the construction of the project.

As the 1969-1970 school year started, the French classes had a new teacher, Mr. Clark. The first year students learned to speak and understand simple spoken French. After completion of the course, they should be able to carry on a basic conversation. Em- phasis was placed on vocabulary and composition for the second year French students. They used newspapers, television programs, magazines, and books. Third year French students studied grammar. They had talk sessions in which the students talked about current issues in France. Andre Jacob! visited one day in the Spanish classes to tell his country and answer questions. They made tacos in food labs, as well as having tasting parties of other Spanish foods in class. Also, they subscribed to the Sunday Mexico City newspaper and enjoyed reading them. This year there was a change in Mrs. Donelson ' s journalism class. Instead of taking a final exam, they prepared an issue of the On Looker . Cathy Eberly escapes from a mouse to the top of a desk, for a pan- tomine in speech class.
