SCIENCE FICTION CLUB This fledgling group got off to a great start. They had an outing to see one of the best science fiction movies ever made. Star Wars. Dr. David Stevens gave a lecture on science fiction, and many aspects of science fiction literature were discussed. Girls were also admitted to the club. The members of the club are working on the development of a science fiction curriculum to be taught in the classroom. One of their goals is to eventually write their own book to be published.

The Library Aides are students who are willing to give of their free time during lunch, study, before and after school, and to them, we extend our grateful thanks. The Library Aides: T. Green. P.
