Students did experiments on their own time and waiting to see what would happen created An element of suspense Chemistry Club was a group of students in Chemistry that desired to engage in pro- jects that were not normally performed in class, and developed these projects as demonstrations. These people had the op- portunity to work on these projects and then present and explain them to other students Chemistry Club was a good way to broaden my horizons. - Joey Garrett as far as procedures and results were con- cerned, Mr. Chip Evans, Chemistry Club sponsor, said. Chemistry Club has been in existence for four years and has seen many outstanding students. This year was no exception. Mr. Evans felt that Dennis Kimbrough, Chris Pufall, Joan Martenson, Cindy Walter, Lonnie McCloud, Sharon Pelzel, Diana McGill and Tuamos Piesanan were all outstanding. Mr. Evans said, i'There were not any of- ficers as such in the club. It was simply a gathering of students who had some interest in science and doing work in that fieldf' A demonstration of individual projects was held in May.

Students with a working klwwledge 0f music, art, and history joined a team to Whiz through Whiz Quiz was a tournament of about 64 teams lschoolsl that competed against each other in various subjects such as Social Studies, Literature, Science, Humanities and Miscellaneous Information. A team lost by single elimination. That is, the team with the least amount of points was not allowed to participate in the next tournament. The people involved in Whiz Quiz had meetings almost every morning from 7:45 to 8:30 a.m. in which they would go over ques- Whiz Quiz is good.

All students working in the library as stu- dent clerks were involved as members of the Library Club. The Library Club itself belonged to a statewide group known as the Teen Age Library Association. The twenty-one members raised money by selling candy and junior theme packets. The money that was raised paid for gas and eating food on field trips and for the district convention. At the district convention this year in May, Junior Rex Layton was elected district president. In October in Azle, Junior Tracey Haga was elected district treasurer. At the Audio-Visual contest, the Library Club members made posters and slide pro- grams to advertise the library and library usage. Field trips that were taken by these members were usually to other libraries, such as the Dallas Public Library. ,sa -it At the Whiz Quiz reception, Senior Nancy Cariker serves refreshments to guest Joey Gar- rett, junior.
