Clubs tour St. Louis, enjoy canoes The Age of Electricity rtvj mo Flashing neon lights Illuminate the display case found in the science hall. The display case, orranged by the Science Club, traces the advances made in electricity from 1876 through 1934. It also tells some about the men responsible for these advances. Highlighting this year for the Sci- ence Club was the 4-day trip to St. Louis in November. Members combed the entire city, touring everything from the Museum of Science and History to the Anheiser Busch Brewery. Making this trip possible was their used book sale. Each of the 60 mem- bers was required to sell at least 3 used books. This project also helped finance a trip to Wyandotte Cave along with the newly-formed Cave Club. Forced inside by winter ' s freezing weather, the Conservation Clubs de- voted their time to viewing films and hearing lectures on fish and game. Crows, rats and the like became very important to them because of their project on planning pest control. As the snows melted and the days gradually became longer, these stu- dents were able to go outdoors once again. Having been asl ed a question about ecology.
