CHEMISTS ACT
AS FIREMEN

The highlight of the year in the
chemistry laboratory was reached
last Friday. Everyone in the class
has looked toward this experiment
from the beginning of the year with
great anticipation. Even Mr.. Clark
was bubbling over with joy at the
prospect of seeing some heroic stu
dent blown to bits or half drowned
in case some tube of the gadget
failed to take care of the pressure
produced in the generator. Under
the careful instruction of our su-
pervisor we accurately measured out
some MA HCO-3 in a bottle and
added some H-2-O. In this solution
test tube of H-2-SO-4 was placed
upright. A one holed stopper with
a delivery tube was placed in the
mouth of the jar. A harmless look
ing contraption resulted.
One by one, the young chemists
walked out on the lawn and tried
their luck. A couple blew up, but
no one was injured. Among the
twelve in the class Robert Watts
had the best machine. Mr.. Watts
crept upon dog lazily doing in
the sun and though he did not get
the dog damp he did make him
blink his eyes. He was said to be
standing three feet from the animal.
