NASA Helped Blast-ofF our New Science Club The Louisiana Junior Academy of Sciences was organized in 1941. The Junior Academy was formed for students in grades 7 12 by the Louisiana Academy of Sciences. The objectives of the Academy are to stimulate an interest in Science and math; form math and Science clubs and supplement them with materials and spe cial publications; and recognize student achievement in Science and math. This was the first year that we had the Jr. Academy. Mr. AbaittL the new Science teacher, began this organization with a project involving NASA. ' The Endless Voyage was the major project sponsored by Jr. Academy this year. It not only involved the Jr. Academy but also uti lized the drafting classes and a few experienced scuba-divers. In January the organization was involved with a teleconference at the Alternate View NetWork television station. The group was also invited to a four day trip to the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The tour includ- ed the space camp, museum, and the center itself. The thing I liked most was the advanced computers at the center. They were awesome, said Jennifer Marion. B. huckabay, N. Hohmann. V. Moang, C. Quinley, (back) B. Brazzeal, L. Nguyen, L. Wise, M.

Math and Electricity are Important ' Matters ' ' in Physics club The Physics club was sponsored by Dr. Otto Sellers. Me is the only physics teacher at Caddo Magnet. He enjoyed the discussions he encountered with students about the field of physics. Though he may not have had ali of the answers, Dr. Sellers, is most knowledgeable on the subject of physics. RUSh, RUSH, RUSh! Junior Jill Bettinger hurries so that she will not be late for her Physics club meeting. Members of the Physics club include Tracy Widiger, Jennifer Greenfield, Treasurer Kristen Berg, Secretary Kathleen DeSoto, Jan Raines, Amy Rhoads, Stacey Dupree, Kim Harju, Ralph Liddell, Jason Christian, Stacy Savell, Vice-President Ross McKamey, David Krumnow, Mark Liles, Mark Walker, Jill Bettinger, Jeff Shoemaker, Mien Nguyen, Kajal Mehta, Byron Stecklein, Tommy Moble, President Neil Hohmann, Tommy Britt, Sergeant at Arms David Guarriello, Scott Caudle, Laurene Gremellion, Katherine Goerner, Corey Pierce, Stephen Glassell, Bryan Patterson, Bryan Vekovious, Peter Williams, Michael Carroll, Tom Drummond, Brian Basinger, Shane Amold, Ben McCormick, Kevin Waguespack, and Antonio Pizzaro. PHYSICS CLUB • 213 The laws of physics serve as guide- lines for the creation of vehicles of ali types. The Physics club was founded for a similar reason. Its purpose was to create a vehide of opportunities for the leaming process of physics to take place. Members of this club had many ad- vantages to hear about questions on the field of physics. Quest speakers such as Dr. Jeff Trahan, Dr. Clyde Smith, and Dr. Knoebel, all experts in their departments at local colleges, came to visit this year and informed members of different views and uses of physics in our society. I have really enjoyed being presi¬ dent this year. I believe our participa- tion in this club has allowed us to leam and understand more about the world around us,” remarked Physics club president, Meil Hohmann.
