Noses are raised as a repugant odor, slowly but Lhoroughly, fiJls the halls. One Blue Devil then turns to another and simply says, "Mr. Thomas' sulfur." The chemi try branch of the science department take on new importance this year because of a com– pletely new chemistry lab which is to be built soon in room 203, the old general science room. The new lab, which will be very modern and one of the most well– equipped in this area, will give CHS two complete labs. Also important for our science department this year is the participation of students in the district science fair held in the Fine Arts Building at the Columbus Fair Ground . CH science teachers stres ed projects as a good method of aiding the individual to learn. Weather vanes made of nails, pencils, cardboard, and wood were projects made by all eighth graders in general cience. There were te ts in biology on the natural habitats of earthworm and frogs. Many students are now taking chemi try which offers them the opportunity of an advanced cour e; labs are held often, and students enjoy learning through experimenting. Every student who takes a science may not turn out to be an Ein tein or to build a rocket to the moon, but he will use the experience that he has gained here. This knowledge will be invaluable to him in everyday life. Mr .
