Junior Engineers Club spotlights IGY in progrann For the students more interested in science, the Junior Engineers Club was formed. At each hi-weekly meeting a different topic ot' scientific interest was presented by the mem- bers1 then a question period followed. International Geophysical Year was the theme ol' the December assembly program by the club. Frank Harmon, narrator, created the world on stage to the tune of The Sorceroi-'s Apprentice and then went on to trace the growth ol' science in history. Later in the showing some of the achievements of ICIY were discussed. Along with their planned meetings, the .liinior Engineers sponsored the Science Fair. 'l'hey were in charge ol' organization, theme, and presentation ol' this project. JUNIOR ENGINEERS---First roto, front to buck: Vincent, Zwicky, Raynor, Torrence, Springer. Clark. Schweistris.

CHEMISTRY students find experiments fascinating. Avid young scientists enjoy prying into mysteries we 5 Sophomores complained about having to catch hatefully elusive insects, find and identify millions of leaves, dissect an ob- noxious frog, learn absolutely unspellable names of bones and muscles. But no matter how loud and heated their complaints Were, next year will find many of them enrolling in advanced biology, physics or chemistry. No other thrill is quite like those that come from seeing microscopic animals for the Hrst time. Or from actually identifying some mystifying unknown in chemistry class. Or from solving at last a baffling problem in physics about light and energy. Or from see- ing spectators crowd around the exhibit one has worried and slaved over for the Science Fair. BIOLOGY students stretch to complete leaf collections. Above: Spectrometer invented by Mr. Johnson interests physics student. ge 24
