In order to have successful dances, the Committee must carry out many important prepara- tions. These include the difficult task of inviting blind dates from local schools and arranging for their transporta- tion, signing contracts with bands, decorating the place designated for the dance, and creating interest among the students. The Committee also has the financial responsibility of paying the band and pur- chasing the refreshments and decorations for each dance from the money it collects from the boys who attend them. This year's committee consists of Jack Garrick, Dick Holmes, Alan Jenkins, Terry McLaughlin, Dick Her- stone, and Jim Brainard. The success of this year's dances was due to the hard work and time spent in the preparations by the Committee, and especially by Dick Holmes. The student body appreciates the Com- mitteeis fine job and also wishes to thank the faculty wives and masters for their help in chaperoning the dances.

SCIENCE CLUB Left to Right: Ist ROW: Staton, Beale, Copley. 2nd ROW: Sargeant, Bilotta, Nissley, Blakeley, Lawrence, Miner. 3rd ROW: Mr. Kilgour, Reed, Finch, Coffey, Salony. The Science Club, under the direction of Mr. Kil- gour, got off to a fairly good start this year. At the second meeting the oflicers were elected, Pope Reed, President, Carl Emmons, Vice-president, Doug Sar- geant, Secretary, and Jon Salony, Treasurer. One of the outstanding events of the year was the changing of the Constitution. Pope Reed carried this out in one short meeting and his intended moves were immediately ratified by the members of the club. The purpose of the Science Club is to allow the in- dividual member to perform experiments in his own particular fields of interest. The Club has accom- plished this feat by setting up specific committees to work on individual projects. The Science Club carries out its intentions and attains its ends through the hard work and motivation of its members.
