Come In Station We WLU. 66g TRANGE noises echo from the darkness.” No, it isn't the supernatural, C but merely Mr. Baty’s Radio Club, practicing sending and receiving on their club-built 10-watt transmitter. Every Wednesday night these would-be “hams” gather around their equipment to study the intricacies of radio sets, and to improve their Morse Code sending speed. Far into the night they stand by, ready to intercept or transmit messages over the Island's ether. For almost two years now, the Club has been sponsored by the G.O., and supported by the more devoted radio fans in the school. Members even include a few repairmen from Huntington. Science “Chain Gang’ HIS group of students composed of members of the Physics, Chemistry, ae Biology classes, helps out in the laboratories doing demonstrations, setting up experiments and keeping track of materials. There are usually two lab assistants at a time who serve for a period of six weeks. These crews get important training in lab procedure. All in all, work is combined with pleasure. 13

Headed by president, Mary Anderson, vice-president Nick Markoff, secretary Nina Demchuk, and representative John Hendriksen, the members work with problems of many kinds, both practical and fantastic. The big event of the year, the participation of three delegates in the Pi Mu Epsilon Interscholastic Mathematics Contest at N.Y.U., was held on March 13th. The annual Christmas party luckily took place before the ‘Blizzard of ‘47’ and was different in that non-members were allowed as guests. The picnic in June was another non-mathematical event that the Math Club looked forward to. BReel-Aunners ELDOM do you see the movie-projector fail, or the quality of tone and the C sharpness of the picture fade. Perhaps this is due to the expert training that the fellows who operate the machines receive. Every boy must pass stiff tests on each piece of equipment before he is allowed to operate it. On completion of the tests he is given a license and the initiation. All the school is grateful for the services of our projection squad. 12

Que dites-vous! ARLEZ-VOUS francais? Oui, mademoi- Baie So speak the French club members every second Monday of the month. With the business meeting over, the group has fun testing one another's knowl- edge of simple French with little games and puzzles, A trip to New York to see a French movie and plans for “adopting’’ a French child were the two largest items on the agenda for this year.

Ladies of the Library EADED by Miss Kingston, this club meets every other Wednesday morn- ing. Where?—Why in the library, of course. By taking over the desks during study halls, checking books out, signing passes and distributing magazines, the girls help Miss Kingston and become potential librar- ians. What else did these busy gals do? Re- member the ‘Book Fair'’? Books from many different publishing companies were dis- played in the library, and the event was a huge success. Town Criers UNNING around hurriedly Friday mornings, these ‘‘cub reporters’ gather the latest news for the three local town papers, fresh from assemblies, club elec- tions, or similar H.H.S. events. Under the admirable leadership of Miss Wyeth, they easily meet their Monday morning dead- line, reporting all of the school activities to the people of Huntington. A special “field trip” is their reward at the end of the year.
