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 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

THE DRAMATIC CLUB PRESIDENT SECRETARY TREASURER BETTY CONDUFF FREDERICK HARMON MAURICE VAUGHAN The D.I's of Floyd High have the distinction of being the first organization of its kind in the history of our Alma Mater. Although the true name is still shrouded with mystery, the Dramatic Club has progressed so rapidly that It is already setting the pace for the other clubs of the high school. Our first presentation of the year, The Bride and the Widow , was written, directed and produced by our sponsor, Mr. Burke Porterfield, with much success and praise. The well-chosen play cast consisted of members of the dramatic organization an:l we credit them with much of the success of our first drama of the season. A committee of three members from the D. I's assisted in designing this play. Many of the D.I's activities have been strictly informal but with the success of this club growing more each day, the productions and other activities will be produced on a much larger scale in keeping with the growth and popularity of this, our first dram- atic club. We, particularly, wish to thank our sponsor for his instructive help in guiding us so successfully in dramatics and may this club continue to be one of the most outstanding in our school.
