It became a member of a nationwide organi- zation, the Student Science Clubs of America. A constitution which made only juniors and Seniors eligible for membership in the club was drawn up. During the year the club sponsored, and participated in, many activities. Demonstrations of soapmaking and photography were presented by the students. At a Christmas assembly the club presented a play. In February the members made a tour of the Corning Glass VVorks. On this- tour various articles of glass on exhibit were seen. In the glass factory the methods of glass making, both ancient and modern, were observed. Later the organiza- tion visited the filtration plant. There the students saw the actual operations employed in purifying water. Sidney Mitchell '37 ' Tff' EQLXQI aging? I 8 3 l
