LATIN CLUB Wisdom and grace through God is the motto to which the members of the Classical Club set their ideals. To gain a more intensive knowledge of Roman life, customs and lan- guage is the chief aim of the group. Among the activities of the year were a Roman fashion show and a study of Roman myths. MATH CLUB To glorify God by stimulating in- terest in mathematics is the main purpose of this club. The activities of each meeting, such as conquering the once-considered invincible slide rule, examining the binary and quina- ry systems, and becoming acquainted with the art of topography have bu- sied many students. SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club was inaugurated for the purpose of making known to its members some of the vast secrets of nature. Frequently at the meet- ings, one particular field of science was demonstrated by films. A month- ly paper containing articles and views on science problems enables the members to develop clearer un- derstanding and appreciation of what scientists have discovered and are discovering. B. Donlan, M. Wade, J. 0'Donnell, M. Mur- ray, J. Birmingham, president, co-editors, treasurer and secretary respectively.
