This yeor proved to be onother educotionol ond entertoining exper- ience for the club ond its leoders, King Tim Keenon, Vice-King Michelle Henry ond Secretory-Treosurer Cloy Booher. Approximotely ninety- nine percent of the club members ore physics students who portici- pote in the effort to finonce the club's onnuol trips. In the post, they hove gone to Son Froncisco's Explorotorium, Plonetorium ond Stein' hott Aquorium ond the PGGE's Drum Powerhouse in Alto, Colifornio.
