Balkovich wins Bausch-Lomb medal
MIKE BALKOVICH is the winner of the
Bausch and Lomb Honorary Science award.
A science student for four years, Mike has
studied general science, biology, chemistry
and physics.
Mike Balkovich, senior, has been selected to re
ceive the Bausch and Lomb Honorary Science
award presented annually to outstanding science
students.
Founded by a group of science teachers in
1931.at the University of Rochester, in Roch
ester, New York, the Bausch and Lomb award
is presented to students in public and private
secondary schools.
The award itself, which is a bronze medal, is
given to the graduating senior who has achieved
the best record in science studies during his or
her high school years.
“As it is handled here,” stated Lloyd Ingra
ham, physics teacher, “the nominations of
students to receive the award are made by
teachers in the science department, allowing
each teacher to nominate as many as each
chooses.”
Nominees are sent forms asking whether or not
they would be willing to take exams in order to
win the award. Winners of the award would at
tend the University of Rochester if they won in
national competition.
“The final choice is made on the basis of a
vote of the science faculty,” commented Mr.
Ingraham. “We take into account the excel
lence of the work that the nominees have
done in their science courses.
“When I received the Bausch and Lomb award,
it entitled me to compete nationally for one of the
Bausch and Lomb scholarships to the University of
Rochester,” stated Mike. “The scholarship is for
approximately $1,500 and I will be notified in the
spring if I am going to receive one.”
Mike has taken general science, biology, chem
istry, and physics along with four years of math
during high school. He wishes to continue a career
in science, but is not obligated to attend the Uni
versity of Rochester, should he win a scholarship.
“I’m interested in a career in oceanography,”
stated Mike. “I would like to do research concern
ing the geological structure of the ocean floor and
plant life found there.”
“Receiving the Bausch and Lomb award is really
a great honor,” commented Mike. “If I shouldn’t
win a scholarship it would certainly benefit me
in gaining entrance to another college, "since the
award is nationally known.”

for sophomores who want to
take such a class and do not want
to take History 5-6 until their
junior year. Ceramics will be of
fered as a full year course rather
than a half year course.
Physical science will be of
fered as both a laboratory and a
lecture course next year. The lab
class will study physics, chemis
try, and astronomy only. This
class, although a laboratory ex
perience, will not be credited as
a laboratory course.
Sophomores will now be able
to take a course in drama as
next year a non-performance
class wil be given. The idea be

Part of the class work on the
first da yin the new wing was
moving. Actual class and lab
work began Monday.
The new wing allows for a
more varied science curriculum.
Students will have part of their
class in labs and the other in the
class room areas. Individual
work on projects is encouraged
and space has been allowed for
this.
“Team teaching will be used
in the science wing,” stated Mr.
Beyers. “With the added space,
one teacher can deliver a lecture
to two classes.”
Sliding doors in the rooms
make it possible to have one
large room or two smaller ones.
There is also greater storage
space for equipment and more
needed equipment is on hand.
