Science Club Mr. Medley had taken biology when he was a sophomore and greatly enjoyed working in the laboratory. Because of his apparent in- terest the club advisers, Miss Dague and Miss Ernest, had encouraged him to join the Science Club. There were meetings, parties, and field trips, the latter was particularly appealing to him. Becoming well acquainted with the three major sciences, chemistry, bi- ology, and physics, he could name almost any tree on sight, tell you all about the oxidation- reduction reaction, or explain to you how the electric wiring in your home worked. Dur- ing the year, he made a notebook of drawings with nature as its subject and also carried out several experiments with gases. When summer and vacation time came, Mr. Medley realized how much he would miss these expe- riences in the practical application of science, but resolved to continue these experiments in his leisure time at home. The members of this year's cabinet, from left to right are Betty Boink, secre- tary, Jean Randolph, social chairman, Byron Robinson, vice-president, Norman Mayer, program chairman, Eileen Shephard, membership chairmang and Dorothy Lindley, 20 literary chairman.

Wranglers Club Because he realized the value of knowing how to speak properly and the help that Wranglers' Club could give him along this line, Mr. Medley was one of the first people to join during the new school year. The meetings through the year interested him a great deal and he was always on deck at the regular time in Room 114 on alternate Thursday nights. He also enjoyed the close friendships that he secured at these meetings and at the Well-planned Wranglers' parties. Mr. Medley always looked forward to the fine Thanksgiving assembly presented by his club every year on the day of Thanksgiving Vacation dismissal. g

This club is a negro organization sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. and resembling the Girl Reserves. In fact, the Phyllis Wheatley Club makes use of the triangle of the Girl Reserves, for their meetings and stresses the spiritual, the men- tal, and the physical side of life for girls. International Club The foreign language department has an organization called the International Club. Its two aims are to promote international un- derstanding and good fellowship, and to in- crease their knowledge of the countries, lan- guages and customs. The club meets the sec- ond Monday of each month, at which time each language department gives a five to ten minute program. Highlights of the year's meetings were the talks given by Miss Elea- nor Mielke and Miss Josephine Wherry, fac- ulty members, on their trips abroad the pre- ceding summer.
