Biological Club Prepares for Science 3air The Biology Club, under the leadership of Mrs. Abernathy, seeks to improve our understanding of biology and encourage more interest in science. The Biology Club also plays a keyrole in the promotion of the science fair. Each year every member of the science classes pre¬ sents either a projector a research paper at this fair. Stu¬ dents are allowed to attend the fair during their study hall periods and judges from nearby universities present prizes. The club is responsible for advertising the fair. The program committee brings many interesting fea¬ tures to the club members. These form a question and answer program to speeches by people in the field of science. A recent program was given by a representative from Bruce Terminix showing a film and giving a talk on termites. Front Row: B. Patton, L. Jones, A. Settle, D. Pender (secretary-treasurer), S.

Underclassmen Participate in Physical Science CluS The Physical Science Club, under the leadership of Mr. Edgerton and Mrs. Taylor is designed to give a gen¬ eral knowledge of all non-biological fields of science. The members are mainly students who are taking phys¬ ical science this year. The programs of the club feature interesting speakers from various fields of science. One of the most interest¬ ing was on the laser which was given by a representa¬ tive of Bell Telephone Company. The members were shown how messages can actually travel over a beam of light and were told of research being done with this rev¬ olutionary new device. Field trips were planned for spring, one of these a tour of the Western Electric plant in Burlington. Laser is explained in meeting of club. MR. Edgerton explains the intricacies of the solar system to the physical science club. Front Row: L. Craft, B. McAlister, N. Jones, G. Burnett, J. Hayes, K. Laws, E. Workman, R. Weiss, N. Terry, M.

JUNIOR engineers president, Kenny Caison, inspects the surplus equipment acquired by the lab. junior Gngineevs Seek “New Horizons of Gngineeving ' Junior Engineers, more than seventy strong, are a visible symbol of a growing interest in all fields of science at Eastern High School. Organized in 1964 be¬ cause of the tremendous size of the science club , the members of this club are interested in planning a career in engineering or some field related to engineering. It is their goal to promote interest in this area and become better acquainted with the various and ever-changing as¬ pects of engineering. Programs have been presented by Western Electric representatives in such areas as Laser communication and artificial speech synthesis. Front Row: N. Black (secretary), L. Hopkins (vice president), D.
