THIRTY-TWO MAKE CSF From a charter membership of twelve in the fall of 'l958, the MH S Chapter of the California Scholarship Federation swelled its membership to thirty-two members when it organized in the spring of l960.

'ID 1,51 , 519: TTA, . .F' f...L PAKISTAN EDUCATOR VISITS M HS JUNIOR STATESMEN I have thoroughly enioyed listening to your discussions. l am honored that l have been permitted to witness your delib- erations. These were the words of Dr. M. J. Khan, Director of Education of the Lahore Region of East Pakistan, after he had attended a legislative session of the MHS Chapter of the Junior Statesmen of America. Dr. Khan visited Montgomery High School in October during a two-month tour of the United States, during which he observed American educational systems at the elementary, secondary, and college levels. At a special meeting of the Junior Statesmen held particu- larly so that he could see how the organization operates, Dr. Khan sat in on the legislation of two resoIutions,one pertaining to the American steel strike and the other to the struggles of Laos against Communist domination. Afterwards Dr. Khan com- mented that he found it hard to believe that the MHS Junior Statesmen were not college students. Thirteen delegates from Montgomery attended the fall state convention of the Junior Statesmen of America at Sacramento in November, which included a weekend of legislation and debate and was climaxed by a formal ball. MHS delegates also at- tended a regional convention at Fresno. Other activities during the year were a potluck dinner with Santa Rosa High School and Healdsburg High School Junior Statesmen and a picnic for all Junior Statesmen members, which was held at the end of the school year. Fall semester officers were Ritch Burkart, president, Judy Johnson, vice-president, Anne Peters, secretary, and Mary Har- per, treasurer. Officers elected for the spring semester were Judy Johnson, president, George Dutton, vice-president, Sher- rill Futrell, secretary, and Loren Corsberg, treasurer. The Debate Club, a branch of the Junior Statesmen, met weekly to prepare practice debates and give individual speeches. The senior debate team last year won first place in the Regional Debate Contest, taking the trophy away from Santa Rosa High School. This year they planned to enter the contest once again in hopes of repeating last year's performance.

SCIENCE FAIR, FIELD TRIPS, POTLUCKS KEEP SCIENCE CLUB BUSY Two potluck dinners high-lighted the school year for the MH S Branch of Science Club of America and provided an opportunity for Science Club members of this school to meet and discuss their interests with Science Club members from SRH S. SRHS hosted the first of these dinners on October 29. The program for the evening included a demonstration on microwaves by the Bell Tele- phone Company. On Februay I7 the SR H S Science Club was the guest of M H S at a potluck. Mont omery High School was also the host for the annual Science Igair held on March 25 by the two high schools md three iunior high schools in Santa Rosa, and although all science stu- dents were encouraged to enter proiects, the Science Club played a large part in planning the event. Other activities of the club during the year included a trip to Golden Gate Park to visit the planetarium an November I4, a tour of Lisle Lithograph Company in Montgomery Village in January, and a tour of the cyclotron at the University of Califomia at Berke- ley in April. Revenue was raised through several cupcake and doughnut sales and auctions of science equipment. Officers for the year were Richard Kunde, president, Noland Lewis, vice- president, Barbara Woolery, secretary, and Mary Hassel, treasurer. DISCHARGE OF ELECTRONS through a florescent tube is demonstrated by Rich Kunde on a Telsa coil, Rich's proiect in the Science Fair. An exhausted tube is lighted up by harmless flow of electrons through Rich's body. On the far right of the appara- tus is a neon transformer which steps up the voltage from 15,000 volts to 500,000 volts. MR. HORACE LELAND lrightl, physics in- structor, gives Bill Bartlett and Doug Mur- phey a few pointers on their proiect for the Science Fair, a demonstration of a parabolic reflector.
