Molar Derby 

 

Every year, Mr. Ron Urick's chemistry students create "moles," punning on the concept of moles and molarity.   These often-elaborate stuffed animals are judged for creativity, wit, humor, and workmanship by the CJHS faculty and a team of chemistry students.  Although construction of the mole doll is optional, most of the class enthsuiastically competes for bonus points and for the coveted first-place mole.

 

This year's favorite moles were...

      1st place - Shelby Cooper's
                    "Mole-ca Frappucino"

     2nd place - Sarah Scheinman's 
                     "Rod Molegojevich"

     3rd place - Sissa Abecassis'
                     "Rabbi Moleberg"

 

Alumni News  

 

Daniel Bier (CJHS '06, now at Ohio State University) was interviewed on central Ohio's CBS station in a segment on campus response to the Gaza war.  Bier and his classmate Josh Levy make a case for Israel and try to convey their level of concern for Israel's security and the welfare of all Israelis and Palestinians.  Bier is pleased with the positive press that the interview has generated, but grumbles good-naturedly, "The channel edited our comments on Iran and the broader implications of the conflict out. The clip doesn't include a comment by the anchor that, 'There is a pro-Palestinian group on campus, but we were unable to find them.' They were too busy at the time protesting with about 50 people, more than half of whom were not university students, on a street near campus."  Watch a segment of the interview here.
