Mole-o & Avagadro By: Sydney Murphy Mole-o, Mole-o, what art thou Mole-o? A number too large to write? or an animal that hides out of sight? Avagadro brought you to us In you, all chemists trust 6.022x10^23 is your amount I wish it was the value in my bank account You aren't a spot on my chin a greater number, there has never been Mole-o, Mole-o i admire you, Avagadro. The smartest man science has known.

From our roving reporter, Paige Lee: Fayetteville in Celebration, Mole Day a Success By Paige Lee

Students in Mrs. Guy’s chemistry class were more than happy to take a day off from the usually grueling curriculum to have a bit of fun, and celebrate the Mole, or Avogadro’s Number. It’s a gastronomically-sized number written in scientific notation: 6.022x10²³. Mole Day is usually celebrated on October 23, but because of the school counselor’s desire to send the juniors to college, they were absent from school on that date. Mrs. Guy benevolently agreed to move the celebration to the 25th instead. The way the administration sees it, the students deserve a “free day” in chemistry. “It’s the hardest subject taught at Fayetteville,” one teacher comments, preferring to remain anonymous. “But the kids have worked really hard, so they should be fine. They’re a smart group.” The budding young chemists kicked off the festivities by informing the rest of the student body of the special event. Announcers such as Amber Harris and Frances Hudson began the day with fun facts about the Mole over the intercom every morning leading up to the occasion. Slogans were plastered about the walls commemorating Avogadro’s discovery. “This is how we mole,” said one junior simply. Though Mole Day was technically a “party”, that’s not to say there wasn’t work involved. Students painstakingly painted T-Shirts, badgered Ms. Chaplin continuously about help with the rhyme scheme for poems, and slaved over hot ovens for hours. Speaking of food, the spread that the class had in the science lab was enough to make even the people on the strictest diets lose every shred of willpower they had left. Peanutmolar Pudding, Tatertot Cassermole, and Mole-fins were just a few of the delicacies that Mrs. Guy’s class had at their disposal. Students in Mr. Shivers’ Environmental Science Class looked on with envy as the chemistry kids filled their plates with Mole-themed treats. After the food was served, it was time for the festivities to commence. Stuffed moles and ornaments were “oohed” and “aahed” over. Students shared laughs over jokes and puns, some funnier than others. Several students shared poems and songs, embracing their inner creativity. That wasn’t always the case though. Said John Walton about his flag, “The more creative I got, the less it looked like a flag”. Just because the party is done, that does not mean Mole Day is over. Each of the students had a job to do that would count towards their project. Food Organizers, Photographers, Environmental Engineers, and countless others collaborated to ensure the success of the event. Each member of the class had to pull their own weight, which made it not just an individual project. With the stress of nine-week exams and homecoming over, some students appreciated doing a creative project instead of typical notes and calculations that come with chemistry. Hopefully, this sixty-point assignment will be just the thing to get the second nine weeks off to a good start. The students’ enthusiastic spirit is contagious; I cannot help it: Happy Mole Day!
