Science Club Com profit totaled $385 in fall sale Science Club popped off to a great start by selling $385 worth of their dynamic popcorn in November. Groups went in several cars canvassing each town and the countryside. Steve Morris, Lynn Hale, Ralph Monfort, and Steve Armstrong were top salesmen by virtue of selling over 50 bags. Strategy was on the agenda in March when Science Club sponsored a chess tournament. Both amateurs and pro- fessionals in BHS were urged to par- ticipate in this test of the human mind. A variety of meetings was held throughout the year. Science professors from various colleges and universities throughout Indiana spoke to the club on such controversial subjects as ESP.
