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.
