ENGINEERING CLUB Fritz Zapf President Keith Corey .... Vice-President Don Shaffer Secretary The Engineering Club Is an organization whose purpose Is to encourage students to become in- terested in the phases of school activities such as engineering and similar studies. Its members are brought into contact with the mechanical and scientific side of school. The club took a number of trips and all were fully appreciated. One included a trip to the Douglas Aircraft School at Santa Monica to see how planes were built. It is hoped that next year the club will grow larger and stronger and therefore plan a few more field trips. With the aid of its sponsor, Mr. Zschokke, the Engineering Club has become very interesting. At each meeting a different member presides and speaks on some scientific element of study. Although social activities haven ' t been stressed, the members enjoyed a picnic just before the end of the school vear. : 4 . j SECOND ROW: MR. ZSCHOKKE. EGAN. N. GALLAGHER. E. GALLAGHER. AYERS.

I Z A T I O ' iidJu t jr . CURRENT EVENTS CLUB Mary Fraser ...... President Maxine Wolfe Secretary For the past year the Current Events Club has been an organization devoted to helping the stu- dents keep abreast of the economic and political affairs of the day. Although the enrollment in the club has not been large, the members have been interested in discussing topics ranging from international controversies to city problems The sponsor for this club was Mr. Rudolph Drewes, the economics teacher. Meetings were held every three weeks in his room in the shop building. There was always a great deal of ma- terial filed away to be debated at the next mee: ing. The topics were taken up in a very inform- al manner, on the order of round table discussion. This friendly procedure gave each member the opportunity to express his or her opinion in a straight-forward manner. As this year is the one just preceding the national elections, party platforms, conventions and candidates proved to be popular subjects, Mr. Drewes was always able to further com- ment upon any subject and was always ready to take the floor when the occasion demanded it.
