Mr. Furber has organized a'very willing group of students who are especially interested in chemistry. Not content with the regular course of study, the members of the Chemistry Club pursue advanced topics usually studied in college. They meet twice a week to discuss the latest developments in this highly complex field. Sometimes the emphasis is upon the applications of scientific principles to modern life; sometimes the emphasis is upon the trends of pure research in the field of chemistry. At all events, each meeting is interesting and informative. Experiments may be performed and analyzed; articles in scientific periodicals read and debated; new discoveries ex- plained and shown how they affect man and civiliza- tion. With such a vital subject as chemistry the topics for each meeting are endless. Chemistry Club, Second Row: Hill, Christian, Hughes, Kline, Mr. Furber.
