Members explore the various scientific fields and include activities that interest those who are preparing for vocations which require scientific training. The Science Club is an especially active organ- ization and strives to have a variety of programs. The members took trips to the Flint Planetarium and Selfridge Air Force Base where they were shown the base's missle system. Several speakers have enter- tained the group, including gentlemen from the Edsel Cooperation and the Parke Davis Company. Often club programs are made available to the entire student body.
