BANG! A rocket blasts off into the morning sky, and explodes. 3rd hour physics is up to their usual antics. This new class pulled a few stunts through the year. 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. Despite delays due to cold weather all the rockets were launched for attemptedj, Some blast offs met with disaster, for instance, Laney Smith's glider craft exploded almost immediately after launch and came down in a quag-mire, nose-first. Tyler Jensen's exploded after launch also. His came down in a rain of pieces. 2sz.w.rfr1s.:l:-s'.ea..fve'4ssa',.f:.4:.::.-w,xw,zr .ezrmr ess 7- , . Jensen.

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.

Ricardo Calasans Urom Brazilj arrived here during the third quarter. At j7rst he sat by himsehf in all his classes and at lunch. Gradually we began to notice him and he became more open and friendly and talkative. By the time he left in March he was talking our ears off He obviously liked it here in Roosevelt. Over and over again he said he would like to come back after awhile. What did he like the best here? According to him, he liked his friends. Then, with a laugh, he said, . . . and the pizza, we don 't have pizza this good in Brasil.
