SCIENCE CLUBS CDPEN CAREERS TO ESSEXMEN Otten, the third-floor chem lab is a hub of activity until late in the after- noon. For here the Chemistry Club members work on their projects, check accumulated data, and seek advice. The club has emerged as an active organization, striving to enrich the regular chemistry course, to provide career guidance, and to train students in the regimen of science. The club accomplishes this through field trips, movies, and guest speakers, as well as discussions and lectures each month. In addition each member must complete a proiect involving research, experimentation, and a knowledge ut the subiect. FUTURE SCIENTISTS study distillation. I - gal F ,L The Science Club, now in its fifth year at Essex, has again succeeded in promoting an interest in the sciences by training its members in scientific research and reason- ing. Audio-visual aids are used to graphically illustrate developments in such diverse fields as organic chemistry, nuclear physics, and marine biology. The club's agenda includes participation in the Arch- diocesan Science Fair. There the members apply to practical prob- lems knowledge gained through the club.

The science of biology cannot be con- fined merely to the world of the lab- oratory. Because it encompasses all phases of life and growth, it must be pursued on a much broader scale. This then is the purpose ofthe Biology Club-to make the study of biology a truly comprehensive endeavor. In this eFfort, the club's members have taken numerous field trips, studying nature first-hand. Their finds were ex- hibited at local science fairs. FIELD TRIP complements textbook knowledge.
