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

CLUB VISITS CRUWELL-CULLIERS Meetings Broaden Scientific Outlook of Students Varied and interesting programs mark the Star and Atom Club as one of Springfield High School's leading clubs. Those students interested in scienti- fic developments find this club a means of learning more about the modern inventions and facts con- cerning them. Included in the program calendar for the first sem- ester was a trip, made by members of the club, to the Crowell-Collier Publishing Company in Spring- field. Also, such subjects as the study of sound, given in the form of movies, and reaction motors, given as a talk by Carl Braun, were used in pro- grams. Not to be forgotten are the lighter moments of this club which were found in the Christmas party given by the club for its members. A similar schedule was set up for the programs of the second semester. They also included movies, lectures, and interest trips. An example was the program of pictures from the General-Electric in Cleveland. Members of this club are those taking one of the three laboratory sciences: Biology, Chemistry, or Physics. Under the guidance of their sponsor Mr. A. B. Shafer, the club was lead through a very suc- cessful year by two semester cabinets composed of the following students: first semester-president, Richard Leslieg vice-president, Philip Keppleg sec- retary, Garrett Reevesg treasurer, Richard Binnigg second semesterfpresidenit Philip Keppleg vice- president, Rose Monettg secretary, Jack Lewis, treasurer, Marilyn Dugan.
