PHYSICS CLUB Inspired by their founding moder- ator, Brother Crane, the Physics Club has organized this year, affirming efficiency as their guiding force. The club is composed mostly of sen- iors whose curriculums include phy- sics. Every Monday at precisely 3:05, President Bob Sardiga calls the meet- ing to order. The agenda usually be- gins with a well prepared talk by one of the members on some interesting and important phase of physics. Upon occasion, the formalities are relaxed and the scientists venture to watch a motion picture of some strange physical phenomena. After the talk, or if there is time after a movie, the students work on projects. All individuals work on the same kind of project, but each works inde- pendently of the others. They then compare results. Perhaps late some night, the clicking of a geiger counter, or the shrill song of a tuning fork, chiming down dark corridors will beckon you to the Physics Lab, where you invariably will find Brother Crane with two or three eager scientists who will have a sound foundation upon which to build their futures. 2 t , Q 3 f 'C ft' 'Fx C rt.

BICDLCDGY CLUB At the beginning of this school year, the Biology Club was renovated, originally being a division ot the General Science Club. During our second year biology became a standard course, usually given in sophomore, sometimes junior year. Because many students became interested in their new subject at this time, Brother J. J. Kennedy, head of the Science Department, decided to offer the serv- ices of the Biology Lab to those future bacteriologists, pathologists, and other biologists who wished to use it for personal research and science Q ' projects. Now composed mostly of sophomores and J moderated by Brothers Kennedy and Lane, the club, in addition to lab work, also holds meetings, during which advanced topics in related fields are reported upon and discussed. Among the rou- tine topics, something like The Eftect of Hormones on Hamsters, is not unusual. Furthermore, field trips to such places as the Argonne National Laboratory and Chicago museums have become standard fare tor the clubbers. Throughout the three years of its history, many of the boys in the club distinguished them- selves in the annual science fairs. sl! L. Karl, F. Karlicelc, and A.
