One of the major contests they entered was the Clare- mont Men ' s Competition in which math students from all over the West were involved. Don Lehman placed in this event with an honorable mention. The club was open to any student on campus wish- ing to enhance his mathematical abilities and knowl- edge. Early risers on campus seemed to fall into the category of Physics Seminar members, who arrived at 7:00 a.m. every Thursday to attend their meet- ings. A student could became a member by invita- tion only and the chosen were the top physics stu- dents on campus. The club activities ranged from lectures by scientists from TRW to actual demon- strations given in the TRW laboratories.

Felis, G. Cainfield, Mr. Ron Miller, D. Boomer and R. McGuire. This year, Monday afternoons were reser ed for a good work-out by members of the Weightlifting Club. President Dan Felis and Vice-President Rich- ard McGuire were two examples of the dedication shown by these boys. Any boy interested in body con- touring and muscle building was in ited to join the club. However, that was not where their activities stopped, for they met with the dance club once a month to practice lifts. Sponsor Ron Miller could often be seen heartily working out with the club. The Wrestling Club galloped to the aid of this year ' s Pioneer League Wrestling Champions. Presi- dent Ludwig Chlup (also captain of the team) com- mented on how this was done: Our primary con- cern was raising funds for mats, wrestling uniforms, and ec|uipmcnt. The girls of the club ob iously did not wrestle, but contributed in a more feminine man- ner. They kept score and lifted the morale of the boys. Next year, the club is planning to crown a senior Mat Queen. Another acti e athletic group on campus was the Baseball Club, headed by Jerry Anderson.
