Tiilie Cgfuxley iBiology Glulv HE Huxley Biology Club was first or' ganized in the spring of 1928 under the name of the Skull and Bones Club. However, due to the similarity of this name to that of a college fraternity, a new designation was chosen. The club was formed under the super' vision of Merrill W. Doolittle, teacher of bi' ology. A minimum grade of sow in biology is the only requirement for membership. The club is very unique in that it is the only Bachelors' Club in the school. The Huxley Biology Club, which has been called the most active in the school, aims to be of both educational and social value. During the year and a half of its existence, it has sponsored dances and moving picture shows. The income from these affairs is used solely for purchasing equipment for the school. Business meetings are held on alternate Tuesdays dur' ing the school year. At each of these meetings l 73 a short talk of biological interest is given by a member of the club. Initiations into the club are held at night at an old deserted mine in Long Hill. Candi' dates are led, blindfolded, through the old shafts and are subjected to all sorts of weird and uncanny experiences. Before they are completed the ceremonies prove very effective to the new-comers. Last fall the entire personnel of the club journeyed to New Haven to witness the Yale' Maryland football game and visit the Peabody Museum. Another trip is planned to New York in May for the purpose of visiting the Aquarium, Bronx Park, and the Museum of Natural History. The officers elected for this semester are Harthon Bill, presidentg Oscar Mulorret, vice' presidentg Milton Rome, secretary and treasf urer.

Cfdhe iBiology Qlub HE Biology Club, sponsored by Miss Ab' by Herlihy, has been most active, although one of the youngest organizations in the school. This group ran a moving picture, the returns of which were used to present at our assembly, another educational picture, The Four Sea' sons. Inspired by the sight of the complete metamorphosis of frogs' eggs shown in the picture, the club made a trip to Stratfield to collect some eggs and experiment for them' selves. The next project of the group was an excursion to the Bird Sanctuary at Fairfield, where many interesting and rare species of birds were studied. One of the most enjoyable trips experienced by the organization was the visit to the Peabody Museum at New Haven. With the new interest displayed, the club will, in time, he one of the largest and most beneficial organizations at Harding. The oilif cers for this year are john Virelli, president, john Shostack, vicefpresidentg Ruth Burns, secretary, Willoughby Sheane, treasurer. With the coming year it is expected that the Biology Club will go through an even more successful season than the past one. The number of trips planned for the members will he an induce- ment to the newfcomers. E723
