This fall ' s Student Senate found a way to spend the $1400 given to them by the School Board last spring. They had clubs submit requests showing they had potential for raising half the amount they needed. The spring Student Senate attended School Board meetings to voice their opinions on student problems and needs. They also appointed members to the Principal ' s Advisory Committee which had to make decisions on how money, allocated to the school was to be spent. To help raise money for the Senate and for clubs, the members sponsored a raffle with a first prize of $200. Other prizes were donated by Berkeley merch- ants. 1.

=up It Every Tuesday after school the Science Botany club met to construct Bon-Sai trees, to learn about plant hormones and their growth, to study natural pesticide control and organic gardening. Lucena Simpao, adviser, wanted to foster an interest in research by providing a place, facilities, and staff supervision to students who would like to do simple experiments outside their regular classes. To make money for the club, the members had a terrarium salp and managed to get funding from the Student Senate and from Laval Wilson, superintendent. With the funds, the club pruchased cyclone fencing material and a Geodesic Dome greenhouse. The Science Math club spent a busy year attempting to successfully launch rocket they called Cinarock. They were undaun ted by any failures under the encouragement of Don Sanchez, adviser. After high winds and water made their first launching at the Marina a flop, they returned to launch a rocket with a mouse and a movie camera on it. Besides launching rockets, the club studied black holes on the surface of the moon and made a tape to be broadcasted on KPFA. JW J iH 1.
