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."

por in an aquarium. Jackie ex-
plained "the fair made me more

science and the things which

Mr. Brandon explained that

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.

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."
Miss Flory's efforts with the
Debate Club involved getting
up at 4:30 on Saturday morn-
ings, lost eekends much
drudgery and the transporta-
tion of the team to tournaments
in Mariemnnt New Richmond
