.9-' Q 5 2 l l I I 3 x I l On a tour through the Science Club, one may hear the guide say, And, on your right, you see the projects of the members of the Science Club. Each member made a project of his particular interest in the science world. There are also demonstra- tions and contests so that every member learns about every field through the others in the club. VVe are now approaching the exhibits of demonstration-lectures to which all the students in the school had an opportunity to contribute. This is called the Science Fair. This year, Howard Goodman is sub- mitting his project on Steroid Chemistry and lVIark Levitz is contributing his proj- ect on Chromatography of inorganic chem- icals to the Westinghouse Talent Search. We hear one of the onlookers say, The Science Club really travels! Into the vast world of science, through chemistry, phys- ics and biology, they explore. learn and appreciatef' T cience club

Scien , W f , i 'i Science leads us on a quest-the search for truth. This quest leads us into many strange lands. Biology . . . Chemistry . . . strange yet wonderful places. The scenery is new to the eye at first-test tubes, microscopes, cyclotrons, and of course, books. In these different countries, we learn to think logically, and if we're in luck, we find some of the answers to the eternal why . Though at times the voyage of Science's quest for fundamental knowledge may seem more winding and extended than that of Odysseus, the Penelope of Science's travels is a more than adequate reward for the traveler. ffvfuww ' f,,.. ny, 'x 1 W 5 .-.....- i 1 Mr. Isaac Dubow if ,.

3 b service quad At one time or another We all feel stag- nant, not having found an outlet by which we may express ourselves. Slowly We awake as we feel our interests submerge in a specific field. For some of us, this is the world of science. We begin to de- sire to do extra work so that we may further our knowledge. With this in mind, we join the Laboratory Service Squad, under the able guidance of Mr, Mortimer Schultz, where We receive valuable ex- perience in the use of scientific material and in working constructively as individ- uals and in a group. We learn to keep the science rooms in good order, setting up or cleaning up experiments performed by the science classes by belonging to the Lab- oratory Serfaice Squad, we are kept on our toes by the fact that we have to exemplify creative initiative in the selection and ac- complishments of our activities. b' 0 OIG The members of the S. B. I. QScience Bureau of Infvestigationb journey to new and fascinating places at each meeting. The plant committee explores the miraculous plant world in their solarium, the ani- mal committee breeds animals and jour- neys into the animal kingdom, the weather committee explores the troposphere and stratosphere to forecast the weather, while the astronomy committee explores greater heights. The bacteriology committee is more interested in down to earth things, and they investigate with their microscope, with fish committee going beneath the earth to observe activities of underwater life. Through any one of these committees, sophomores and juniors may travgl to interesting places. 30 F u J i. l l. l I J i 1 l li i
