12 THE GLEAM “Mr. Chairman and Friends: In behalf of the R. 0. T. C. of Ensley High School, I wish to thank the clothing classes for the beautiful flag they have presented to us. The presentation of this flag is an illustration of the beautiful loyalty and co-operation so characteristic of Ensley High School. We assure the school that this flag will always be to us an emblem of those things that are finest and highest in our school life. We shall do all in our power to honor and protect this flag. As high school students being trained in the R. O. T. C., we shall strive the harder from this time on to let this flag mean to us greater consecration to duty, a higher love of our school privileges, and a truer conception of American manhood. Again, I wish to say that the R. 0. T. C. thanks you. Lieutenant Stubbs then turned over the flag to the Color Sergeant, Lomax Harless, with instructions for its use and care. -----------:o:---------- Ensley-Southern Club Entertains Ensley High The Ensley-Southern Club of B’ham-Southem College made its annual visit to our school on Tuesday, January 15th, at the auditorium period. Besides the club members, who number all former students of Ensley High, the Glee Club under the direction of Prof. 0. Gordon Erickson and the officers of the club assisted in the exercises. The program was presided over by Clarence O’Brien (graduate of 1923) who is president of the Ensley-Southern Club. He introduced Prof. Keith E. Powlinson, who made a talk on the advantages of going to Birmingham-Southern. Next on the program were O. Stoubon (“Hoss”) Gandy, ex-captain of the Panther football team, and Oscar R. (“Red”) Farr, who made peppy talks on college athletics. And then came the real feature. The Glee Club presented several attractive numbers among them an original one, in which six boys were supposed to be representing co-eds. Jack Stuart was interlocutor in this song. Vernon Kimbrough, baritone soloist, sang “On the Road to Mandalay ’ and as an encore, “Love Sends A Little Gift of Roses.” On this, his second appearance before the students of Ensley, he was greeted with thunderous applause. Mr. Henry Richard was accompanist for all of the Glee Club numbers.

The Science Department of E. H. S. The Science Department of our school observed what we shall call “Science Week’' during the month of January. A great deal of interest was created; so much, in fact, that the literary editors of “The Gleam” decided to interview Mr. Sechriest, the head of the department. This is what he had to say in regard to science work in E. H. S.: “The Science Department of Ensley High School is trying to keep in touch with all the modem developments of science. To do this, clubs in radio and photography have been formed for the amateur. At present the school has access to two large radio-receiving sets and now has under construction a fifty-watt radiophone broadcasting station which will be located in the science laboratories. “Our photographic laboratory has been put in first class condition and the photographic club will do color photography by han4 as a special feature in its w’ork this semester. “The Science Department is working in close cooperation with the Department of Visual Instruction at the University of Alabama and with the National Non-Theatrical Producers of New York. With this aid it is possible to announce the largest and best collection of educational pictures for class-room work that has ever been undertaken by any school in the South. “Educational tests are now being given in connection with the Lincoln School of Columbia University of New York City. WTien we are through with this work, our school will have had a part in standardizing tests for Chemistry and Physics for the schools of the United States. “Although science is elective, the growing interest in this subject is showm by the large number of people that elect it each year.” :o:- Survey of Science I—A Theme Science has been one of my most interesting subjects. From it I have learned many things w'hich were mysteries before. The first thing we took up was experiments with gases. In this we delved into oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen, and their peculiarities. Convection, conduction and radiation next yielded to our minds, heads, or whatever part of the body they enter into. With some of us, they didn’t enter at all. Look at your finger tips. They look innocent, don’t they? Rub them
