BROTHER CAMILLUS -demonstrates to some members of his General Sci: ence class, how the electric motor works. SCIENCE CLUB-The science club of Mt. St. Joseph, affiliated with the Na: tional Science Clubs was formed for the iirst time at the Mount this year. Here, in the physics lab, where the meetings were held monthly, some of its members dem: onstrate their interesting projects. Brother Marcellus, club moderator, planned many interesting trips and demonstrations, while Ben Popera, the president of the club, presided over the meetings. GETTING THE FACTS-As we travel through the school we soon come to the Metal Shop where Brother Cornelius is explaining, to Bob Mayr, Frank Sullivan, and Bob Reg: ula, the complicated procedure in the development of the machinery in the Metal Shop. At the Mount there is an opportunity for those who are planning a future as an engineer to secure the necessary background for this work. lui-1 l'HlliO5Ol'HY ol' the Mounts educa- tional system can he lonnd in the Eng- lish clepartment's tour year tour of l,ltC1'2lLL1l'C, and among the many ap- proved volumes that wait, shelved in the Library cabinets, to he explored.
