Future Scientists Compare Theories lDoyle Cole, and Jackie Shapera experiment in the chem lab while Leon Cohen looks on. gn-nun SCIENCE CLUB--Row 1-R. Weiss, E. Solomon, Mr. Ottowell, M. Weisling, H. Lipsitz, R. Jacobs, E. Averbuch. Row 2-M. Gaines, M. Fuerer, N. Sabin, M. Sussman, R. Shrodeck, E. Driker, J. Greenbaum. The Science Club, under the sponsorship of Mr. Alfred Otte- well, was created for the purpose of gaining that experience and knowledge which can be obtained through experimentation, which, in turn, suppliments that which is learned from the text- book. On the agenda for this group were trips to the Ford Plant, Great Lakes Steel Corporation, Parke Davis Drug Company, and Eloise, as well as a picnic outing at the end of the school year. During club meetings, besides attending to business matters, a great many activities and programs were held. They included demonstrations and experiments, movies, discussions, speakers, and the preparation and adoption of a new constitution. The requirements for joining this club are one year or more of a science, and a B average, or a recommendation from the sponsor, Mr. Ottewell, or from a counselor. Wielding the gavel this term was Sheldon Pringle, with El- morris Still as vice-president, Anne Klarman recording the min- utes, and Vivian Lieber collecting and allotting the money. 52 ' ,sq Row 3 - S.

The Unty Forum is one of the most important extra curricular activities carried on at Central High School. Its purpose is To promote co-operation and understand- ing between all racial and religious groupsf' During its meetings, which occur every other Tuesday in the library, discussions are held and future activities are planned. Some of the past activities have included outings, skits, movies, speakers, and, in honor of Brother- hood Week, a program to which all students were invited. All of the members are students who realize the ob- stacle of intolerance and are trying to overcome it and promote better feelings among all people. At the last election, Jim Lafferty was elected president, Jo Ann Ivory, vice-president, Mitzi Rachleff, secretary, and Phyllis Ivory, treasurer. The able sponsors of the Unity Forum are Mr. Charles Merryman and Miss Orah Hahn, who do a great deal of work in connection with religious tolerance.

Twenty Knowledge Gained in Language Clubs I - SPANISH CLUB-Row 1-M. Diskin, A. Mar- golis, S. Velick, R. Berk, L. Sarko, P. Ivory I. Nader, Miss Brakeman, G. Kulish. Row 2-D. Gross, E. Axelrod, F. Adler, B. De- Piard, C. Brnnsky, J. Edelheit, F. Hoffman R. Horwitz, N. Sprecher. The purpose of the Spanish Club is to further students' practice and enjoyment of the Spanish language, and to teach them the culture of Spanish speaking countries. The club's program is varied. It includes games, skits, and activities. This year the Spanish Club Chorus made a recording of Spanish folk songs at WDTR, the school radio station. To add to the club's entertainment, each Christmas a pinata is made. The pinata is filled with candy and other treats, and after the hard task of breaking it, the celebration gets underway. The officers for the past year were: Laura Sarko, president, Phyllis Ivory, vice-president, and Rona Berk, treasurer. Upon the graduation of Ida Nader in January, Nina Sprecher took over as secretary. Miss Eleanor Brakeman sponsors the club. The Latin Club gives students a chance to meet informally, have fun, and use their knowledge of Latin outside the classroom atmosphere. With the able aid of Mrs. Bush, an enjoyable agenda was savored by all members. First, there were terrible but harmless initiations, including a trip to the lower world. The club held joint meet- ings with Mumford and Mackenzie, plus trips to the Classical Museum in Ann Arbor. The Ann Arbor visit included a picnic. . . I ' At the end of each term a medal ofaccomplish- ment is awarded to seniors -who have achieved all A's in eight semesters of Latin. ' Officers for the fall term were: co-counsels, Rich- Row 3-- F.

In the spring, Alicia Margolis and Philip Berns took over as co-counsels, Sam Dorf- man became scribo, Barbara Simon was historian, and Helen Friedman was quaestor. Music, games, fun, and culture are the general fields of activity covered by the French Club. The purpose of the club is obvious: To carry on a varied program of French outside the regular classroom. Heading the club in the fall were president, Mar- sha Lowingerg vice-president, Winifred Ledger, sec- retary, Mitzi Rachleffg and treasurer, Gloria Manela. As the snow cleared so did the old officers and we found Mitzi Rachleff as president, Winifred Ledger as veep, Esther Schey reading the minutes, and Ora Kutnick collecting dues. Miss Phyllis Ward sponsors the club. On the term's list of activities was a French What's My Line? panel. A speaker from U. of D., Mr. Fleck, showed the club slides of Europe, which featured France. Among the other games, French hangman was tested at one meeting. Dominant on the list of activities were musical programs. The French Club has many up and coming chanteuses. All three clubs worked together this year to put on a complete language show. The show included French songs, the latest Latin-American dances, and authentic old Latin poetry. This language show topped off a highly successful season for the Lang- uage Clubs.
