Yes, these and about a dozen or so other subjects were well covered by science fair students at the annual Duchesne County Science Fair held at U.H.S. Dedicated chemists and physicists spent weeks in preparation for the big event. The aromatic smell of something? combusting drifted from Mr. Merrill's room at all hours as Ronnie Mortenson concocted genuine acid- rain in his home built apparatus. Tyler Jensen spent an entire morning trying to fl! a graduated cylinder with soap suds for his ex- periments on the speed of sound. When it was all said, sweated through and done, Union came out with two of the top three places. Ronnie took first place and Greg Jones captured third. We also won the traveling trophy twhich hasn't done much traveling because no one but Union has ever won itj. Our ingenuity and intelligence had shown through again and we came out atop the heap.

Fourth hour physiology often came to class smell- ing popcorn. Third hour had the stuff many times. The biggest event of the year was the building and launching of model rockets.
