Plastics Club To keep in step with the triumphs of modern industry, the Plastics Club was formed at the beginning of the February 1941'semester. The group was sponsored by Mr. Robert Starmer. The purpose of this club is to acquaint students with the nature, uses, and problems of plastics. The material for use is purchased on a co- operative basis, thereby reducing the cost to the individual member. The members are allowed to work on whatever forms of plastic they wish. The officers are research, Robert Harsh; business, Melvin Parker; production, Cal Dexter; public relations, Ramon Replinger. Although the club was organized late in the year all of the boys looked forward to the continuance of their study and research next semester. Psychology Club Making its initial appearance this year, the Psychology Club broke the ground in a new field for Central High School. The main purpose behind its formation was the hope that Central students would become interested enough in this subject to establish it as part of the regular curriculum. In this they were partially successful, for it created a good deal of enthusiasm among the student body. The club undertook several projects. It sponsored a popularity poll of the teachers and analyzed the results by judging the qualities which had made the teachers popular. It also conducted an experiment to determine what the student desired in the curriculum. The results were that the members found out what they desired from a high school education, and what they thought they had missed while being educated.

Stamp Club The Stamp Club, under the sponsorship of Miss Edna Stewert, held several interesting and informative meetings during the past year, the primary purpose of which, was to increase every member’s stamp collection by trading stamps. The club arranged several interesting displays in the trophy cases in the main lobby for the en- joyment of the student body. The Lewis Latin Club The Lewis Latin Club is composed of students who have maintained a “B” average or higher in Latin and who are actively interested in the cus- toms and culture of the Roman civilization. Among the worthwhile things accomplished by the club during the past year were a visit to the Art Institute and the donation of a Christmas basket. The club was very popular and initiated many members during the course of the year.
