s c I E N C E C L U B The El Dorado Junior College Science Club functions for the purpose of developing scientific interests of the Junior College students. Many of these interests were brought to view the past year by one of the most active groups in local Science Club history. Some of the projects completed in this year ' s organization have been the develop- ment and enlargement of many fine photographs and the growing of a soilless garden with chemicals. The club meets on the second and fourth Thursday of each month during activity period. Meetings are devoted to discussions and demonstrations on scientific subjects. Many motion pictures were shown to the club which were educa- tional as well as interesting. Meetings are also held on the first Monday night of every month at the home of Mr. S. H. Coffman, sponsor. At these meetings the individual members delve into that field which they are most interested. This year ' s club was under the leadership of Clancy Ferguson as president, Jack Schuster as vice-president, and Mac McCormick as secretary-treasurer.

And once more the public speakers have turned on the charm, in an attempt to convince the audience that their side is the only fair side in the present argument. The pictures above show the two different methods used in presenting convincing arguments. The picture on the left shows how it used to be done, clenched fist, ponderous books, and thunderous voice all used to scare the audience into submission. But on the right is seen the modern method of bringing the listener into agree- ment with the speaker. This method is much more informal, friendly, and spontaneous than the older form. These speakers representing EJC took part in tournaments and discus- sion groups numerous times throughout the year. While their record was not outstanding they ranked consistently above average and at numerous times defeated teams of championship caliber. At least two different tournaments would have been won by this group if the breaks would have been just a trifle different. EJC this year was host to the State Junior College Forensic Tourna- ment. Every junior college in the state was represented at this three-day meet, which through the cooperation of the entire school was a tremendous success. The maze of details for this affair were worked out by Ward Henderson, forensics coach.

y.w. y.M. While the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. are organized in E. J. C. as separate clubs instead of as the Student Christian Movement their purposes are very similar, and in many activities they work co- operatively. The promotion of Christian fellowsh ' p motivates the Y ' s work. Under the leadership of Rosemary Gfeller the Y. W. C. A. has attained a membership larger than that of any other college club. Such Y. W. activities as covered dish suppers, informal teas (see picture above,) and parties have helped to make the social life of the school varied. During the Easter season worship services were held for a short time before classes each morning. At the holiday season the Y. W. adpoted a family. Finan- cially the members proved themselves to be both workers and wizards, as witness the selling technique displayed in the snaps above. Other officers and members of the cabinet were Harriet Bachelder, Ida Mae Foster, Betty Jean Daniel, Maxine Roberts, Wilda Ruth, Wilma Locke. Miss Wrestler and Miss Milford were sponsors of the organization. At the beginning of the year the Y. M. C. A. took the responsibility of sponsoring a game room for the student body. This game room, devoted chiefly to ping-pong, was a gathering place for students at activity period and after school. Ed Brumback was president of the Y. M. this year and assisting him were the following officers and chairman Jim Hayes, Dale Watts, Jack Morris, Gerald Townsend, Forest Cornwell, and Joe King. Mr. Shumway was the sponsor.
