Here they can discuss their ideas on current scientific subjects and work together on projects and experiments with those who have similar interests. After one semester in Science Club, the members are invited to join junior Academy. This is a national organiza- tion vvhich is very worth while being a member. Une requirement for ad- mission, however, is to be working on some interesting project. These proj- ects are then displayed at state-wide meetings. The Science Club members are also eligible to enter the many national science contests. These con- tests award educational opportunities in the Held of science and also money prizes. The club meets on VVednesdays at .5 oiclock, with hflr. Alvin T. Roder as advisor and Wyatt Nloe. president of the group. Other ollicers are lacque- line Iude, vice president, john Capa- rilli, secretary. and Vernon lirown. treasurer, Science Award-livery year. the sci- ence department ol' YVashburn presents an award to the graduating senior who lield shows the most promise in the ot science.

The last weeks of March were very significant for Mexico and North America. During the Mexican con- ference, plans were proposed and made concerning inter-relations. The secur- ity of nations was also discussed, along with their social, political, and econom- ic welfare. Trade pacts were also of major importance. More confer- ences of this type have been suggested to establish better relations. The rep- resentative from the United States was Cordell Hull. This spring the Spanish Club, super- vised by Miss Laird and Miss Tupper, has held many special attractions. Miss Hiscock, from West High school, spoke about her experiences in Mexico, and the life of a typical Mexican family, with whom she stayed. Elizabeth Bricker, the president of the University Spanish Club also visited the meetings, and told us of her trip to the University of Mexico. Entertaining movies were presented: 'lFriesta,', and 4'Viva Willie, and Span- ish records were played which proved eccentric but enchanting. Our own Miss Tupper told us of her fascinating adventures in Spain and South Ameri- ca concerning bull fights, soccer games and other sports, schools, movies, res- taurants. and Unight lifef, The famous mskc.

Spanish Club cabinet presented an amusing puppet show: UPeter Rabit in espanol. The Christmas party was high- lighted by the 'APinata, a special fea- ture, and movies of South America shown by Bob Parsons, Special talent was displayed by the club members in their excellent program, and clever dec- orations. The singing of Spanish songs, the business meetings conducted in Hes- panol,', and the delicious refreshments also provided for great fun and enter- tainment throughout the year. Under the fine guidance of the Spanish Club, advisers Miss Laird and Miss Tupper, this organization has a lasting value which is acquainting many students with their knowledge of a relationship with our next-door neighbors of South America. It is of great advantage to us in our present world turmoil to keep these relations close. AHORRE POR LA VICTORIA 24
