EARCH NATURE'S SECRETS It takes very little effort to stimulate interest in things re- lating to science. The IXVA Science Club, under the sponsor- ship of Sister Reparata aims to give the members an abiding interest in the study of science. This club prides itself on the fact that all its meetings are exciting and mentally profitable. Among the projects sponsored by the Science Club is the annual rake party, at which leaves are raked together, burned, . . . marshmallows are toasted . . . stars are studied . . . plans are made to keep up the tradition of a rake party. Science projects are prepared by several members of the Science Club, and these projects are entered in several science fairs. It has become a thing to be expected that these projects are rated high among those entered. PETE THE PET of the Science Club obliges Sister Repariti by posing for his very first photograph. GETTING READY FOR THE SCIENCE FAIR are Maureen Cleary, Jackie DuMont, and Pat Steinlage. These and other mem- bers of the Science Club prepared various projects for various sci- ence fairs. Sister Reparata was al- ways on hand to help anyone who needed help. bl

One would hardly recognize the various home rooms so decorated were they. Now, home rooms no more but Swiss villages, French homes, Russian ham- lets, and we even saw how Christmas was observed in some Asiatic countries. The judges were hard pressed to know which rooms to award the prizes to. A senior room got first prize, I1 junior room, second prize, and a sophomore room got third prize. Their ability evidently improves a step at a time. We wish we could let you see all the room in picture, but our space is too limited. The Home Room Beautiful contest is sponsored by the Ar: Club. ORIENTAL CHRISTMAS . . . japan was the country chosen by a Junior room. Donna O'Connor gives the prize to Mary Ellen l I it
