Elemental Anagrams Revisited Inspired by an earlier report (I),I have presided over the induction of 12 new members of the Elemental Anagram Society (EAS) during general chemistry class. The class is divided into several EAS chapters. The chapters compete to induct each new member-whose name must be an anagram of an element-hy being the first to unscramble the nominee's name. Lists of elements are not allowed as aids during the unscrambling, although they are helpful a t the end when we brainstorm to come up with additional nominees. Can you decipher the elements from the names of our new members? Answers are an page 1116. New Members 1.Tim Bush 2. Lori Chen 3. Emily Burl 4. Toni Gren 5.May O'Tinn 6. Paula Mild
