The Science Club is a group of high school students who are interested in the fields of sci- ence and in developing more knowledge in that field. To develop this knowledge, the Science Club has undertaken different projects. One of these projects was the construction and use of a cloud charnber. The meetings of the club were held twice monthly and included special talks by outside peo- ple and some movies. Some of the nfieetings were spent on the special projects taken up by the club as a whole. One of the special meetings of the club was a trip to Spearfish to witness the College Science Club in action. Several ideas for the running and maintaining of a science club were obtained. Several individual projects were attempted by members. Hans Neubert made a rocket which was taken to the Science Fair. Other members attended the fair, which was held on the campus of the School of Mines in Rapid City in April. Back row, bottom to top: G. Keehn, T. Plummer, D. New, D. Luger, T. Martin, H. Neubert, D.
