THE BIOLOGY CLUB ' S MEMBERS KEEP THIS IMPORTANT CLUB GOING BIOLOGY CLUB He would pore by the hour o ' er a weed or a flower, or the slugs that came crawling out after a shower. . . Of course, he was an enthusiasfic member of the Biology Club. . . . This year, armed with microscope and butterfly net, these na- ture enthusiasts captured hapless grass- hoppers and butterflies for further ob- servation in the name of science. One hun- dred strong, the members, under the leader- ship of Margaret Raulinaitis, participated in many activities devoted to the further study of biology. Although to some the Biology Room may be a strange and terrifying place with its snakes and animals, to these members it is a fascinating and a wonderful world, especially to William Fleming, who was laboratory man- ager, and to Leonard Strange, who did a great deal of work in the vivarium this year. Faculty Open House, sponsored by the Club in October, and the famed annual Science Fair, sponsored by the Biology Club in co- operation with the other science clubs, ex- hibited the projects of many members. This year, besides having a cook-out and a field trip to Hammond Pond, the group went on its annual outing to Woods Hole to visit the Marine laboratories. Attainment of the Biology Club ' s main pur- pose, to further student interest in the study of biology, is an excellent beginning for de- veloping scientific knowledge in American youth.

MEYERS AND JOAN ZUKER AT THE BANKING CENTER OF B.H.S. BANK STAFF Money, money, money. ... I’m surrounded by it! This was the silent groan of each mem- ber of the Bank Staff on busy bank-day morn- ings during the year. The Bank Staff, com- posed of over one hundred and fifty messen- gers and clerks and aided by Mr. Meyers, has performed an admirable job of depositing the savings of B. H. S. and maintaining the high post-war record, which doubled all pre-war accounts. Every other Tuesday throughout the year B .H. S. was the scene of furious but efficient activity as the tellers collected and counted the deposits from their respective homerooms, and the messengers carried the money to banking headquarters where It was counted and recounted by Ruth Suskin, Anne Bernstein, and Raisa Kemler, faculty assistants. The Bank Staff Is one of the most vita! or- ganizations of the school: for as Mr. Meyers has said, The teaching of thrift and of regu- lar sj Sutematlc saving Is necessary In order to participate intelligently In adult life. Bank for your future needs. . . . Bank for your own security. . . . Bank for the pressing demands of your senior year! Faculty Adviser: MR.

It sounded like a major operation to any inexperienced eavesdropper standing outside the B.H.S. darkroom: and it was, for a Camera Club member was in the process of developing a precious roll of film. This group of twenty-five members, under the I eadership of Donald Paulson, spent this year studying the technique of taking, develop- ing, and appreciating good photographs.

As a result only students with a real Interest in photography gained ad- mittance to the sanctum sanctorum , the Camera Club. Highlighting this year ' s events of picture taking and developing, the Camera Club ex- hibited its accomplishments, starring the works of Lewis Lubar, Francis Giannetti, and Ernest Fuller, at the annual Science Night this spring. In October the club made a trip to Cape Anne, and later on In the year it held its an- nual photographic contest.
