Ca esa r Dies Again CHATTERBOX dR. Remember Effies Party &apos;ol. I; No. 4 WALNUT IIlLLS IIIGil SCIIOOL May 24, 1961 Science Fair Competition Sparks Unusual Projects by Steve Englender The five eighth grade classes of Mr. William Brandon held a science fair in Room 212 on May 19 and 22. Each student was required to enter either a project or a written report of equal merit. Representing one semester's ork, the subject of the pro- ject could be drawn from any field in science. Every item had to be clearly labelled and explained. Models requiting demonstration were operated in each class by either Mr. Bran- don or file student. Mr. Brandon's approximately 120 students submitted some 75 to 80 entries in the fair. With the projects on display all afternoon, the fair was open to the school. Among the items displayed were solar furnaces built by both Steve Engleader and Mike 'Nest. Steve's furnace involved lenses whereas Mike's employed mirrors for energy. Mike commented that "the fair gave me a chance to show my interest in science."

This involved ice cubes used to condense the water va- por in an aquarium. Jackie ex- plained "the fair made me more learned about the wonder of science and the things which people of our age are able to do with science," Mr. Brandon explained that he "undertook this fair be- cause of the eat deal of in- terest shown in local dis- plays." Latin Class Presents 'Exitium" 9 Blocher to Impersonate Caesar Rather than concentrating on individual projects as has been done in the.past, Mrs. Joyce Mitchell's sixth bell ninth grade Latin class plans to present the Latin play adapted from Plutarch's Lives by Maria W. Smith, "Exitium Caesaris" (The Death of Caesar ). Because the play is written completely in Latin, an inter- preter, Alonzo Saunders, will translate each line after it has been spoken. The production is under the direction of Peter Crockett, who also has pre- pared the music, such as Caesar's fanfare. Mark Blucher, playing Cae- sar, will assume the leading role with John Courter as the famed traitor Brutus, and Frank Dauterich as Mare Antony, portraying lominent support- ing characters. Chosen to enact the part of Cassius is Jerry Blake while Janet Wood will appear as Calpurnia, Caesar's wife. Judy Roberts will shout Terry lloffeld and Mark Lehman present a petition to Mal Blocker, Caesar, while John Courter, Jerry Blake, Norman Ratio, Terry Malone, Sandy Ebert, Dee Goldman, Judy Phillips, Frank Dauterich, and Judy Roberts look on. as VaLes the fortuneteller, Lemont, and Larry Mandel, while Cimoma and Casca will who will make up the crowd of be presented by Mark Lehman onlookers.

Miss Flory Coaches Debate Team, Travels to Europe, Mexico, Hawaii by Paul Bishop Teaching eighth and tenth grade English and Journalism in 132 is a person who describes herself as a "tongue-in- cheek cynic". Miss Itarriette Flory, who came to Walnut Hills last year, is a native of Ripley, Ohio, a graduate of the University of Cincinnati, and a former supervisor of market researcn at Proctor and Gamble. Very much absorbed ill her work with the debate team, of which she is faculty adviser, Miss Ilory feels that "sport soling the Debate Club this year has been very stimulating, thought-provoking as ell as fun. I think that this activity is invaluable in that it teaches rite participant how to do painstaking research, how to organize a clear-cut argument, and how to think logicalb."
