Ocetwwgfzaphy Qailli nf The Oceanography Club, moder- ated by Mr. McConnell, offered a wide range of activities for Bosco students who were interested in such areas as marine biology and ecology. Club members participated with the Los Angeles Harbour Department in collecting examples of marine life and testing samples of the harbor's water and bottom for pollution. The students used a geo- logical dredge to collect bottom A plant and animal life. During one collection a rare heart urchin was found. Prehistoric Mastadon tusks have been dredged up on other trips. The members planned an underwater hockey team to com- pete with other local teams at vari- ous swimming pools. With Sam Ynzunza as president and chief motivator the club enjoyed another successful year. 2 1. MA. lwakoshi views the sting ray that was dredged up. 2. P. La Combe and Ft.

V' Ham.st1m FmwNewC!ub If you've been paying close atten- tion to the school bulletin through- out the year, you may have heard about a new activity that has entered the minds of Bosco students. It is the newly formed Ham Radio Club . If you were somewhat observant, you may have noticed the fairly large antenna on top of the Science Building to serve the use of the club. The club's reason for existence was to add diversity to the science electives such as the Oceanography and Aerospace clubs already offered here. Ham Radio was a logi- cal extension of the curricular pro- gram since many students, some who even have F.C.C. licences to operate ham radios, showed great interest in this program. The financial cost to get this club off the ground was nothing, thanks to George Marquis, an amateur radio operator who supplied the necessary apparatus for this pro- gram. He also donated the use of the antenna. A storeroom also had to be converted into a base of operations for the young ham- sters to do their work. The Ham Radio Club's goals were to allow students to become more involved with their hobby, to serve as a public service station since it can receive emergency calls, and to establish a phone patch which allows dialing into the phone sys- tems of other countries without cost to such faraway places as South America and Antarctica.
