The Chemphibio club this year was divided into three groups: Photography, radio and bacteriology. Regular meetings were held every other Friday in ths biology room and the laboratory and members were free to use the darkroom and laboratory at any time for their individual work. In addition to developing and printing pictures, the photography department exchanged information concerning all aspects of photography. The radio department began work by erecting a permanent antenna. Following projects were the building of a crystal set and a one-tube shortwave receiver, repairing of defective radios and converting pwrsonal radio sets to headphone operation. The members in the bacteriology section began actual work under the directior. of Mr. Eigenbrodt. They learned the principles and techniques involved and soon put them into practice. This is the youngest department in the club. On December 14 Mr. Eigenbrodt and ten members of the club went to Chicago for a ccnducted tour through the Museum of Natural History, a visit to the Aquarium and a striking explanation for the Star of Bethlehem at the Adler Planetarium. The climax of the year ' s activity was the field trip in May, when we visited the Northwestern Research laboratory. The officers for the year were: Donald Halford, president; James Zimmerman, vice president; Eugene Schaefer, secretary-treasurer. Section leaders were: Photography, Robert Chilcot; radio, Donald Halford; bacteriology, James Zimmer- man. Advisers were Mr. Eigenbrodt, who worked with the bacteriology section, and Mr. Johnson, who instructed the photography. Forty-Five
