And we women want to help distribute its bounty so that all of our faraway friends can help us enjoy its beauty! 4 In civics, we have come to appreciate Creluctant- ly at first? that NVQ the People actually includes X quite a few men. Wfe find them necessary for pio- neering our wildernesses and initiating our major institutions. They are helpful in fighting our wars, and hiding us behind their uniforms. They make excellent governors and presidents. We respect their judgment in the Supreme Court. Disconcerting as the thought may be. we recognize in them an essen- tial for social affairs outside the home. Wfe really f do hope that they will go first into Outer Space- but send for us very soon.

Af Q-pw M t-1 'gg - ,j:5w:,'a- as r gina ,-sag., : K s A peek into Miss Gholston's room reveals a group interested in general science. s Alliance Science is alliance! It unites faculty as well as students. Our Science Department heads - Miss Gholston, Mrs. Butler, Mr. O'Brien, and Mr. Staub -instruct in general science, biology, chemistry, physics, as well as wage wars, and sign treaties-all to conduct a lively, attentive class. Some retrogress with, Now girls, when I . . Others pose a non- chalant, l'm not to spoon-feed you girlsg you either get it or . . Wfhile another may give up and join the fun when the class serenades him with Christmas Carols, , Q Squeemish girls dissecting innocent animals liven up, not only the biology room, but also the surrounding ones, Besides the alarm of squeals, ma- lodorous experiments in chemistry may result in upturned noses of neighboring students. Or a few carelessly spilled drops of dilute acid on the lab counter will immediately call in the administration and other faculty to protect valuable school proper- ty. All these entertaining experiences point out why the science club is active. Annise Waterrnan presiding and Mr. Staub advising, we have undet- taken a number of informative projects: weather moviesg a trip to Scott Paper Company, a speaker, Marvin Uphaus, who discussed principal parts of an automobileg the science fair, and the Alabama Junior Academy of Science Convention. Yes, Wfright scientists have united-making a forward move for out growing school, and proving that Science is Alliancefy Spring Hill College chemistry major, Wheelt-r Blakeny, is as- sisted by Peggy Smith and Annise Xwaterman in setting up an experiment in organic chemistry. ,-ww x ,MW Engineer and teacher Walter Staub explains to Wright s first physics class the part that heat plays inichanging water into steam. 23
