The General Science Club, composed of students who have taken or are taking General Science. tries to give its members a better background of science for use in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, and at the same time strives to aid the members in scientific thinking. The first part of this year their study was centered around astronomy. Individual reports were made on stars, star patterns, telescopes, and telescopic cameras. After each report, the topic was then thrown open for discussion by each member. Some energetic persons made drawings of the star patterns for further study. At mid-year their study switched to the inventions since 1890. Mr. Marmon is their sponsorg Marie Elena Vicario, their presidentg Dave Johnson, their vice presidentg and Judy Sacksteder, their secretary. They worked very hard selling concessions at a game and used their money to buy four books for Mr. 5Iarmon's Science Library. GE ERAL CIE CE CL B FIRST HOW: Nl, Yirarin lPrcsidentt, M. Stemen.

Annetta Carter is the presidentg Sue Welsh, the vice presidentg Jane Emmons, treasurerg and Nancy Core, secretary. Incorporated into the club this year were the Camera Club and the Slip-Stick Club. The former devoted to demonstrating dark-room techniques and the latter teaches the use of the slide-rule. This year the club spon- sored a Science Assembly on March 22, at which they presented to the school library a copy of the book THE WORLD WE LIVE IN, based on a series of articles in LIFE MAGAZINE. Also based on these articles were the film strips they purchased for the Science Film Li- brary. For the Chemistry and Physics departments they purchased some excellent and helpful charts, which are appreciated by all chemistry and physics students. 1956 CHANT 28
