Crosby, Interests Amplified By Experimentation Science Club helps those with more interest than the average student to ad- vance themselves more than time allows for in the classroom. The interests of the members are given freedom to develop in t h e area of their choice. The testing of plant compe- tition in growth occupied the energies of several boys. Building electronic appa- ratus found the interest of some who con- structed audio-frequency oscillators. Developing of film and printing of pictures assisted the paper and annual staffs and gave experience in photography. Under the supervision of Mr. Heit- kamp, the members helped with the prep- aration for regular classes. A vacuum tube voltemeter built by the boys was used in the physics class and other science courses. A number of special science films were viewed at the Monday night meetings. W. Mattfeld.

Paper Staff Advisor Change-Over Adds Responsibility With the gathering of the latest in- formation and the stroking of the type- writer keys came the sounding forth of the school news in the monthly -published TIGER TOPICS. More responsibility devolved upon the staff this year as a result of an ad- visor change -over. Through the great efforts of the editors and page-editors, plus the aid of its experienced members, the staff was able to meet these respon- sibilities. Zippy advertisements, controversial editorials, and student creativity brought a fresh approach into the scope of each edition. The paper also became a media for student opinion in the form of Letters to the Editor. In an attempt to be the first to re- port the heartbeat of all activities, the reporters and writers were observant of all current developments. FRONT ROW, Left To Right: J. Dvorak, S. Otto, M.

MARIETTA FOGARTY CAPTURES the interest of Mrs. Lieske's special education class as she reads a favorite story. FTA Career Experienced When Students Teach What's it like to be a teacher? Most of the 24 members of F.T.A. had a sam- pling of the teaching career when they, with red pencils and pink slips at hand, faced their peers in a classroom situa- tion in Belle Plaine's first Studnet Gov- ernment Day. Each student teacher had nearly full responsibility of making ade- quate preparation, presenting a lesson in an interesting manner, handling disci- pline, and making assignments. To earn 10 points, enabling them to receive an award, the members aided a teacher in the field of their choice. Mem- bers of the faculty a s well as outside guests related personal experiences at monthly club meetings. Money to finance delegates to the F.T.A. Convention at Augsburg on April 1 and to alleviate the expenses of a trip to a college was earned by serving lunch to an off-campus art class, which was held at BPHS during January-March.
