mwzbcrs af our faculty. SCIENCE CLUB Don't put that in therel' Boom! As the smoke slowly clears, we see several members of the science club slowly scraping burnt residue from the counters. This seems to be a weekly occurrence for the science club. There may be explosions and failures but the members always come back to try again. Through all of the failures and explosions the ever faith- ful secretary, Linda Kreamer, is taking notes for president Charles Olmstead or vice-president Thomas Powers The experiments are mostly the prelude to larger things to come such as exhibits for the Science Fair Each member of the Science Club is required to enter an exhibit in the local Science Fair The Advisors are Mr Marvin Mr Smith and Mr Keir N' Seated C Olmstead T Powers Standing J Havens L.
