Out Of This World Students with an interest in scien- tific research, discussion or lab experiments were urged to join the Science Club. The club covered a wide variety of sciences ranging from astronomy to physics. Experiments, lectures and guest-speakers were com- mon occurrences within the club, as students became better acquainted with the many studies. During the se- cond semester, a telescope was pur- chased and the astronomy club was formed. Members spent many evenings-, charting star patterns and moon phases. The results of the charts were later explained and discussed by the entire club. By the end of the year, members of both clubs had further in- creased their knowledge of astronomy and astrology.
