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. The captain last year was Joe Dehart, and assisted by his Lieutenants Sam Spangler and Fred Turmah, he accomplished much. We reorganized this year, with Sam Spangler as Cap- tain, Billy Howard and Allan Jett Lieutenants, and Mr. Brock- man sponsor. The duties of the Safety Patrol are to direct traffic and help prevent accidents. We have helped with the traffic at all ball games and entertainments and hope to be very suc- cessful . The members of the Safety Patrol are chosen from the 6th, 7th and 8th grades. The Patrolmen are; Ross Williams James Lawrence James Dickerson James Harmon Gene Williams William Harman Bill Sumpter Elmor Clem Junior Hall G. W. Hylton Glen Clem Sherill Star
