PHYSICS CLUB . . . WiTh The currenT emphasis on science being vvhaT iT is, The Physics Club is of special imporTance. The discoveries which are made and vvill be made in The laboraTories in which These club members will probably work vvill be insTrumenTal in The progress oT This counTry. Along vviTh The oTher science clubs aT MorTon, The members display' inTriguing phenomena oT science in The form of a Junior Academy of Science proiecT. The inTeresTing experimenTs in- volving The use oT such TascinaTing equip- menT as The sTrobe lighT and geiger counTer provides The sTudenTs vviTh many inTeresTing hours of learning. Such im- porTanT Tields as aTomic energy and rockeTry are encompassed in The Tield oT physics. The increased imporTance oT These has been seen by The sTudenTs and has caused a surge in The membership oT such organizaTions. This condiTion is an inTeresTing one, Tor iT shovvs ThaT MorTon sTudenTs are able To cope vviTh many problems. 'Th IPAQ oncepfs of Science BIOLOGY CLUB . . . The Biology Club members, as usual, have Taken a greaT many Held Trips To The dunes and The quarries. On such Trips many fossils are Tound which aid The sTudenTs in The un- dersTanding of The sTrucTure of Things which walked The Tace oT The earTh many years ago. There are many places in The Chicago area where The members can End inTeresTing subiecT maTTer for discus- sions in school. Garheld Park Conserva- Tory, Coal CiTy, and The various ToresT preserves in The area are iusT a Tew examples. Because oT The mulTIpliciTy oT These locaTions, The club has adopTed These Trips as one of iTs primary Tunc- Tions. BoTh boTanical and zoological sTud- ies are carried ouT as parT of The club curriculum. The members learn noT only To appreciaTe The apparenT beauTies of fiovvers and insecTs buT also The beauTy oT The organizaTion oT These living Things. The raising oT planTs in The green house aT MorTon EasT is also perTormed by The club. These sTudenTs are living proof ThaT The more one knows abouT a subiecT, The more inTeresTing iT becomes. -. -4+ + ? , f Kg, .e 5 T fest Watch that wire! exclaims an excited member of the physics club at Morton East.

rom 4.jWcqAf fo n1gAf ASTRONOMY CLUB . . . The Astronomy Club members show great enthusiasm in exploring the heavens. They spend many evenings scanning the skies with the eight-inch reflector telescope. The members study the stars and planets, knowing that in the not too distant future that will be the direction of travel. Since man is such an adventurous creature, there will undoubtedly come a time when he will not be able to resist going out to see what lies in that great space, and the Astronomy trontiersmen will be our new pioneers. Trips to the Planetarium and various other Observatories in the Chicago area are made, and lectures by the members and sponsors are given. Slides and tilms also give the members of the club an en- ioyable and enlightenfng time. The grinding of new mirrors and other phases ot work is under the direction ot Mr. W. J. Jacob- son. ,alll Astronomers explore the heavens by terrestrial maps as well as through their telescope mounted on the roof of Morton East. BACK ROW: Nlr, W. J. Jacobson, D. Partekel, E. Cunnar, G.

You can win this game in three moves, is a common expres- sion during a session of the Chess and Checkers Club. On- lookers prophesy the outcome ot the game and analyze each move made to see it they can discover the reasoning behind it. The less skilled players watch as the experts play in tense silence. The members pre- pare themselves tor the inter- scholastic Chess Tournament by engaging each other in many games. They accept each other's suggestions tor improvement and try to practice them. They are then prepared to meet the opposing players from other schools. An example ot these interscholastic meets is the one with Evanston in which our Morton team was the victor. 'Q' a
