AERONAUTICS CLUB LEARN Principles of Techniculify of Aircraft With an average membership of 25, the Aeronautics Club under the sponsorship of Mr. Lewis W. Lewis meets every week for forty-five minutes to learn more about navigation. Bob Meade is the presi- dent of this group of future fliers while Ed Snyder carries out his duties of secretary-treasurer. At the meetings of this club which is comprised of students interested in flying, Mr. Lewis explains some of the principles of navigation. Although meteorology, wind velocity, and radius of action problems are studied, much more time is devoted to the study of wind triangles. After movies on map reading have been shown, the students are able to interpret maps. During the spring, field trips to nearby airports are an important feature of the club. Approximately seventy-five per cent of the mem- bers are Civil Air Patrol Cadets, These cadets study two hours every week almost the same prin- ciples taught by their sponsor and also discuss traf- fic patterns. During the summer, the meetings are held at the airport where practical experiences are gained. Members of the Aeronautics Action: Studying pre- flight Aeronautzcs

OF THE CQMMERCIAI. DEPARTMENT Knowledge and Understanding of Business Practice Springfield Senior High's Commercial Club is an organization made up of students particularly in- terested in the broadening of their knowledge of business, typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and office practice. These students gather together on the third Thursday of each month to discuss Commerce or to see movies on different types of business. The constitution of this live-wire club is to elevate the status of the commercial department, to advance their own interests, to make the most of their oppor- tunities, to establish high ideals of accomplishment, and to broaden their general knowledge in the use of machinery pertaining to business practice. The Commercial Club was originally called the Junior Chamber of Commerce before the turn of 1920. Soon afterward, this club was renamed after the department of the school in whose interests they gathered together. The present club has a mem- bership of approximately sixty members who gather together under the sponsorship of Mr. Elmer Leffel, commercial teacher, to further their interests in the commercial activtites of the present day world. The officers of the commercial club are elected to serve for the whole school year. The meetings of the Commercial Club are first called to order by the presidents, after which the new and old business is taken care of. The entertainment of the meetings consisted of a variety of programs. Under the competent direction of a very capable program chairman, many interesting programs were given by the members of the Commercial Club dur- ing the past year. The first meeting of the year was called to organize the club and elect officers for the ensuing year. The officers elected are as follows: Patty Gueth, president, Arlene Keller, vice-presi- dent, Doris Belcher, treasurerg and Pat McAlister, secretary. The other meetings held during the year consisted of a musical variety program, a discussion of business art, a Christmas program, a movie on shorthand, and a field trip through a commercial establishment. Through these monthly meetings this club helps to create in its members all the ob- jectives mentioned in the clubs constitution and prepares them for a business future. Commercial Club Group
