VALLEY Busta IUNE, 1947 tSOClETY, 31 Sleighride Climaxes Winter Season February 13-Last night the Active Atoms Club enjoyed a sleighride. The informal event provided a welcome mid-week diversion for the members ot the club. Immediately following the sleighride, the group met in the home of Mary Lou Cole. A brief business meeting was con- duicted and refreshments were served. The otlicers of the Active Atoms Club were elected at a previous meeting. They are as follows: president, Allan Stuhl- millerg vice-president, Kermit Woodcockg secretary, Keith Jollsg and treasurer, George Mezzio. Mr. Seifert, vice-prin1ci- pal and science teacher, is the club's adviser. The active Atoms Club was formed in an effort to pr.omote an active interest in science, to acquaint students with others who share similar interests, and to provide for scientiiiic experi- mentation outside of class. Any student who is taking or has taken 'either chemistry or phy- sics is eligible to join the club Writers Satisfy Literary Desires June, 1947eLast September an assemblage of incipient writ- ers satisfied their desire to ex- press their thoughts on paper, by forming the annual newspa- per staff of Gowanda High School. Achievements of the staff, which meets every Monday and Friday, may be noted in the School Nouns' section of the local newspaper, the Gowanda NEWS. Each and every student is familiar with the features of the ever-popular School News. Stim- ulating biographies of new teachers and seniors, exciting sports write-ups, and the noto- rious Little Black Book, which recounts the latest dating data, are conductive to enjoyable read- ing. To bestow credit where it is undeniably due, Roberta Tor- rance, editor, must be congratu- lated for her adroit management of a very perplexing job. She was aided by Cynthia Parker, assistant editor. Miss Carter, who serves as adviser to the staff, has displayed a remarkable quantity of patience, and is pri- marily responsible for much of the success of the staff's efforts.
