“Followers of Science.” Future Einsteins Perhaps ' Lei ' s see now — 1.002 mm. of magno-siaiic elec- trons. Eureka! The dissimilation of animal life through space is possible at last! No, our thriving Science Club hasn ' t attempted that yet, but all the members are constantly probing and so who knows but someday . . . You never can tell! However, static machines, voltage converters, telephones, telescopes and radios have been quite a challenge to the club members in the past year. Under the leadership of Mr. Clyde Motts, the members were guided and encouraged. President Robert Mandly and Secretary-Treasurer Tony Smederovac added tremendous moral support. To further the interest in science, the Science Club presents a trophy for the most out- standing science student of the year. By just watching these probing students one would find it a tough task to call only one member outstanding. Page Twenty-Six

Speech Club Has Fir st: Year Under the able direction of our sponsor, Mr. Weldy, the Speech Club completed its very first year successfully. Our officers, Bob Mandly, President; Martha Moore, Treasurer; and Lorraine Schmidt, Secretary, had their hands full organizing eager youngsters into experi- enced debaters. As a member of the Calumet Forensic League we participated in its activ- ities every Tuesday night. They include debate, radio announcing, poetry reading, extem- poraneous speaking, humorous declamation, dramatic declamation, oratorical declamation, and original oratory. Other activities staged by the Speech Club were a Christmas play entitled, The Mid- night Clear and an amateur program with prizes given to the winners. “Now Listen!’
