The Astronomy Club President . . ................................. WILLIAM DIVERS Vice-President . . ............................... LOLA KIRSCH Secretary . .................................... LYSLE DRAKE Treasurer . . ................................... Tom Gamma HE organization of the Astronomy Club vats successfully accomplished soon T after the mitl-year examinations. The main purpose of the Club was to become acquainted with the lives of all the great astronomers and the part they have taken in the founding of their great science. In order to do this, it was necessary to know something of constellations, and two evenings at month were devoted to their study. The observations were conducted either at the Observatory or on the tiramlin ltozul viaduct. Connected with the study of the constellations, many interesting legends were learned. These legends have come to us from astronomers who studied our stars and planets thousands of years ago, but who were 11:111tli111umtl by the. luck of astronomical devices that are now employed. Since they were not able to explain many of the phenomena they saw, they evolved weird aml fantastic tales, whieh were handed down from generation to generation and today come In us as legends. The members of the Club feel that besides adding to their interest in Astron- omy, much valuable knowledge has been acquired. At the end of the year we had the customary picnic supper and a last look at the stars. The evening furnished an appropriate linzlle to our interesting course in Astronomy. The club would like to express its grateful appreciation to Miss Sltute for her untiring efforts in steering for us such :1 true course among the stars. LYSlJi Dunne. 93
