Science Groups Develop Interests THE KHEM Club, under Mr. Chester Henry, sponsor, and Charles Callis, Chief Chemist, had a most successful year. Qualifications for joining this club are that a student be interested in science and that he maintain a B in chemistry. The club dealt with phases of chemistry that were too technical or took too long for regular classroom work. Projects such as the making of cosmetics, tooth paste, lotion, cold light, etch- ings, and other chemical feats were carried on in this organization. As in other years, the club members added to their chemical knowledge by taking trips to various parts of the city. These trips this year included the McDonald Dairy and the Sewage Disposal plant. THE NATURE CLUB held its first meeting on March 15. Future meetings were set for alter- nating Thursdays from seven o'clock in the evening until nine. The club was organized in response to numerous demands for a biology club. Mr. Leonard Redd and Miss Thelma Waaler were co-sponsors. Robert Spencer was elected president and Peter Leow, vice-president. Cath- erine Elliott was elected secretary. The club's main purpose was to encourage biological hobbies and every member had a biological hobby of some sort. Field trips, hikes, and nature walks added to the activities of the club.
