The bi-weekly meetings are devoted to lectures, readings, experimental demonstrations, and movies related to the field of science. The members are chosen from the entire student body on the basis of high achievement in scientific study, or an intense interest in this field. Invitations are extended to the students who reach this attainment at the end of each semester. At the present time we have twenty-five active members-

GENE CLOPTON Publicity Director IRGINLA HILTON Ref ' orter Something new has been added! It’s the Distributors Club, students of Alexander Park’s first class in Retail Training, and Distributive Education. DC members are honored seniors, and possible future tycoons in the world of busi- ness. Distributors Club provided a means of promoting friendship and cooperation among the students, faculty and retail institutions. Because it is a member of Distributors Clubs of Virginia, it forms a link in the chain of clubs and sends a delegate to the State Convention each year. Social activities combine with con- structive work to make the club an asset to the department and the school. DC members play as hard as they work — believe in that old maxim about all work and no play making a dull boy.
