SCIENCE CLUB Launches Own Rockets Double, double, toil and trouble: fire burn and caldron bubble. Officers of Science Club. John Herrick, vice-president: Dean Farrish, president; and Clark Congleton, secretary-treasurer, prepare their own special formula of witches’ brew as Mr. Prim, sponsor, watches approvingly. Recent scientific discoveries have electrified the world. Scientists have achieved new stature as missiles and rockets blast off from every available piece of flat land. The Science Club of Ft. Lauderdale High School promotes inter- est in this vital field and encourages those who are considering a career along scientific lines. At meetings the club members hear talks by local scientists. They also see factual movies on scientific subjects. Some of the students in Sci- ence Club have launched homemade rockets. Last year the Science Club planned and built a darkroom. Both club members and chemistry students have found the darkroom very useful in their experiments. Another project the club is planning is a periodic chart of the elements which will light up. Such a chart would be used to teach students those all-important valences. The Science Club excursion last year was a fascinating experience. The members spent a day at Patrick Air Force Base, located just off Cape Canaveral. They toured the base of op- erations for our nation's missile projects. The trip was so successful that it may be repeated this year.

PRESS CLUB Where? When? What? and Why? These are just a few of the many questions answered in the Press Club’s annual project: the Flying L Handbook. The booklet is composed of informa- tion concerning school organizations, clubs, school rules, and the procedure followed in our classrooms. Press Club was organized to further interest in journalism and to help the Navigator Staff in any possible way. Many times the lights can be seen burning late into the night in Room I 14 as the members fold our newspapers and organize them to be distributed the next day. Special invitations are given to students who have taken Journalism I and have written a letter expres- sing their reasons for wanting to become a member. Football and basketball seasons find the busy members selling boosters to encourage the stu- dents to support their team. But their pride and joy was the Homecoming Float. Behead the Knights, which won first place in the Interest Club Division. The activities of the year are high lighted by a visit to the Miami Daily News, where they see a fullscale newspaper in action.

With a fanfare of bugles in the back- ground, the Sweetheart King and Queen are crowned at the annual Boys' Hi-Y Sweetheart Dance. Membership in this club, sponsored by the Young Men's Christian Association of Fort Lauder- dale. is open to any boy in the school. The members not only learn the Chris- tian principles but apply them to their lives as they strive to create and main- tain a feeling of brotherhood throughout the community as well as at school. Keep your eyes in their sockets . . . No notes in your pockets! These words of wisdom were the slogan of the Clean Scholarship Week, another Hi-Y project. The purpose of this campaign was to encourage honesty and to discourage cheating. They also presented the re- ligious Thanksgiving and Easter Assem- blies. Discussing Hi-Y future plans are treasurer. Tom Smith, and Dick Grim, vice- president. while president. Doug McDermott, listens approvingly. Other officers are Bob Hunt, secretary: Dennis Knowles, chaplain; and Mr. Cain, sponsor.
