Miss Evans Chamstey Wherever there’s smoke, there’s sure to be a chem major! Not one, but six scientific lasses have wrestled long and hard with equations, formulae and apparatus. Those three flights in the science building, that seemed to grow steeper every year, have been climbed for the last time, each step stamped with memories . . . the eternal smell of rotten eggs; the organic lab, four hours (two of which were spent cleaning up); the gleaming white desks versus decaying wood from cleaning solution; and that wonderful haven for confused chemists, the smoking lounge, where goodies were always at hand. Bubbling test tubes, impossible problems, lab-worn notebooks are only half the story. The tireless patience and understanding of the chem department has prepared each girl for a future which, met with knowledge, confidence and an ability to think scientifically, will enable her to work with an open mind, ever ready to accept new ideas in a changing world.

Mr. Mish, Mr. MacCoy, Miss White, Miss Chidsey ielogy For those who choose the microscope for a companion, the science building becomes a second home. Laboratory hours are long, but ever rewarding when the desired results are obtained. In the mean- time, a lost bat fluttering in through the window, or the unexpected appearance of some phenomenally blue bunnies may afford concen- trated interest — nearly anything may happen to provide entertain- ment during those moments of waiting. Numerous field trips afford first-hand experience with “grow- ing things”, from their simplest to more complex forms. Quite often students have the greenhouse or quadrats as destinations, but there are also more extensive journeys, such as those to Scituate and Vineyard Sound. For a biology major many fields of science are open, with graduate school, research work, and medicine as prospects. i | f : ome” ri q b ¢ 4 7 f (f Constance Ruth Lanner Eleanor Eva Gleeson Page seventeen
