to' THE MADISONIAN —........ to SCIENCE DEPARTMENT September 2, 1925 was very auspicious for the science department when it was crowded to maximum capacity. About 100 students enrolled in all the classes which made a total of about eighty-two Freshmen in General Science and about eighteen Juniors and Seniors in the Physics Class. The Freshmen all showed their interest and curosity in the work and the Physics class were ready to back the high precipice of the Physi- cal world. After a short outline of the Physics course and a discussion of the aim, cold shivers began to run down the spine of several, who finally, in a quiet way, dismissed all thoughts of remaining. The first fact they found out was that, “Physics is the science which treats with the related phenomena of matter and energy.’’ Next appeared on the scenes the trouble of the little innocent fel- lows which were Mr. Molecules and his partner Mr. Velocity. Then came Miss Siphon, Miss Harmonic Motion, Mr. Crystallization and last but not least came Mr. Centripetal and Centrifugal Force all in a parade. But after many twisting and turnings and hard work, we all reached the final goal which we are all f-miliar with—SUCCESS. Milton Goldman. ARTS CLUB Under the leadership of Mr. Rohe, an Arts Club was organized at the beginning of the second semester for the purpose of studying and discussing architecture, paintings, sculpturing, interior decorating, furni- ture styles, and other relative subjects. There were thirteen charter members. The officers of the club are: William Schaefer, President; John Broomfield, Vice-President; Joseph Richardson, Secretary-treasurer. The meetings are held at the High School every Thursday evening. The charter members paid fifty cents enrollment fee; this money being used to buy a projecting machine for illustrating lectures. Mr. Rohe has a number of pictures cut from magazines and books, show- ing various styles of furniture and modes of interior decorating. The pictures will be used with the projecting machine, and will be a valu- able aid to make the lectures more impressive.
