Science Complex Opening

Rather then cutting a piece of red tape with scissors, the Science students at Brock prepared a laser devise to cut through a specially made piece of metallic ribbon for the opening ceremony of the Science Complex addition. Pictured here is Robert Welch with the laser device as he attempts to 'cut' the tape. Unfortunately the device failed and Dr. Earp resorted to cutting the tape with a Swiss Army knife he had on hand.
