New mem- bers from the Junior and Senior classes, who were interest- ed in Science, were taken in. In May some of the members and Mr. C. G. Gibbs, the club sponsor, attended the meeting of the Academy of Science at Lexington. The Junior Academy of Science was organized and the club became a charter mem- ber. At the first meeting of the Science Club, this school session, new officers wore elected and some new mem- bers were admitted. The club adopted a constitution and a now name was chosen, the Leeuwenhoek Science °lub, in honor of the man who Invented the microscope. Either one or two meetings are held every month. Each member has an active part in the club s work. There are seven committees in charge of different types of work. The object of the Leeuwenhoek Science Club of Floyd High School is to arouse interest in the knowledge of science and to cooperate with the Virginia Junior Academy of Science in making High School science more worthwhile. SAFETY PATROL The first Safety patrol of Floyd High School was or- ganized and sponsored by A. S. Brockman last year. The or- ganization is sponsored by the American Automobile Association.
