Repairing TV’s, Fixing Greenhouse Fills Year Adding improvements to the green- house occupied most of the time of Horticulture members. A new watering system, repotting plants, and white wash- ing windows to filter light were among the improvements. Several plants of var- ied types and sizes were added to the club ' s large collection. Several field trips were also on the agenda for activities. Horticulture members visited Chicago flower shows and also attended lectures. Horticulture members tried to gain a better understanding of botany and a more favorable appearing greenhouse. Radio Club ' s agenda this year has been one of interest and hard work. Tools and test equipment for repair work were purchased through the sale of ice cream at noon. Members have re- paired radios and televisions which were donated to the club by outside sources. Several of the members have been studying all year in preparation for their Ham radio operators licenses, hoping eventually to build their own sets.

Night Of January 16th’ Highlights Dramatists ' Year Drama Club produced two plays this year. The first one was for all the mem- bers of the club and the second one was just for senior members. The play The Night of January 16th, given by all members, was a modern courtroom trial with the audi- ence as the jury. It was given Novem- ber 12 and 13 in the auditorium. The senior play Cheaper By the Dozen was given March 4 and 5. To provide more members with the oppor- tuni ty to participate in the play, it was double cast. Early in the year the club held it ' s an- nual election of officers. Betsy Beiriger was chosen to lead the club, Karen Graffee was elected vice-president, and Pepper Reznik and Mary Kay Wester- field were elected treasurer and secre- tary respectively. Purpose of Drama Club is to intro- duce students to the theatre. Members are concerned with style, make up, scenic design, construction, lighting, costume style, and acting. Field trips were taken to Indiana Uni- versity, Gary, to see a stage play by college students. The club also ac- cepted an invitation from Valparaiso University to see one of it ' s presenta- tions. Lana Hendrickson, Kathy Miller, Mark West, and Larry Thrall are acting out a scene from the drama club ' s fall presentation of The Night of January 16th. Drama Club was very active this year with the presentation of two plays, The Night of January 16th, and Cheaper by the Dozen. 31

Better be careful, Davel A trip to Argon Laboratories in Chi- cago provided Math and Science Club members a chance to expand their knowl- edge in the field of science. Members taking the trip were provided firsthand information about laboratory procedure, and they learned the specific job of each of the personnel working in the laboratory. New members also learned how to op- erate fhe complicated computer made by previous members. The club also sponsored the annual Science Fair in March. Prizes were awarded for different categories of science and each winner was then en- titled to go on to the regional fair. Math and Science Club strives to fur- ther the knowledge of the members in these areas and at the same time create interest in particular phases of those fields. 33
