Displaying different aspects of aerodynamics, these models stand as proof of an imaginative mind. The Model Rocketry and Space Aerodymanics club was a newly organized club which met weekly on Thursday at 2:40 p.m. in sub-school 3. The idea behind the club was to increase the knowledge of the participants of the fun¬ damental construction, mechanics and stability of rockets and aircraft. The ultimate goal of the club was to design, build and launch the perfect model rocket, “The Bruin”, to be presented to Lake Braddock Secondary School students at a rocket festival held at the close of the 74-75 school year. During a Thursday meeting of the model rocketry club, Ms. Purzycki goes over the agenda. Meeting once a week allows both girls and guys a chance to enjoy a hobby people don’t hear too much about.

The Future Homemakers of America have been a very ac¬ tive club throughout the year. Their 1974-75 theme was: “doing our part for the Bicentennial.” Some of their ac¬ tivities were going on an Embassy tour in D.C. with mothers, having a caramel apple sale, trick or treating for Unicef, and going on a trip to the National Bicentennial Center. On November 18-the 22nd, Colonial Craft week was held where speakers came and had demonstrations of different crafts. They helped out with the faculty Christ¬ mas dinner and had a Christmas party for Head Start. February 10-the 14th was F.H.A. week where they dis¬ played colonial crafts, organized a “Colonial” cafeteria lunch for the student body, and visited the National F.H.A. Headquarters in D.C. The girls have also held many other activities. Thanks goes to Ms. Causin and the girls for helping Lake Braddock throughout the school year.
