Top teacher: I was totally surprised when they told me, says Ken Brown, 39, after being named science teacher of the year by the Toronto chapters of a Sigma XI, a scientific research society with chapters all over North America. Brown, head of physics at North York's George S. Henry Secondary School, is the first to receive the honor at the high school level.

Future applications for the amazing laser seem limited only by the imagination. As an industrial tool, the laser - a beam of light - is expected to serve a $1 billion market within a few years. University of Toronto physics professor Dr. B. P. Stoicheff demonstrates laser with help from graduate student Bob McCaren.

In a rare bit of scientific detective work, phyicists at Ontario Research Foundation in Sheridan Park proved Canada's 1855 black 12-penny stamp was used in a mailing from Hamilton to England in 1855, boosting its value from about $3,000 to anywhere from $25,000 to $40,000 for owner, a British collector. Principal scientist in applied physics, Eric Chatfield shows enlargement of letter.

Class of '87: Dr. Hilroy Thomas, right, is opening private schools in Scarborough and Etobicoke to help students, labled under-achievers, make the grade. He says individual attention and small classes can raise a student's grade by one year. These students are catching up this summer.

Yea. To Principal John Plumpton of Jane Junior High School in North York for trying to get more students to read books. Twice a week staff and students are given 50 minutes of the day just to read - anything they like. Some of them may discover that reading is a joy, even though it's a little more work than watching a TV scree. It's a nice idea.
