SQ fi BIOLOGY CL B BABBABA BBANHAM President He's not crazyg nor is he affected by the weather. l-le's just being initiated into the Logos Bios Club. This enterprising club was founded under the struggling efforts of that tireless, energetic Mr. Baker in 1944-45. The club grew rapidly the first year. llt's a secret how members survived the experiments, and the Biology parties? Because of Mr. Baker's leaving at the end of that year, the members were in need of a new sponsor. So, came Mrs. Geary. But at the end of the semester, our unfortunate club was once again without a director. Y For the remainder of the year, the club was under the leadership of Mrs. Beuber. This year, Mr. Fryback has taken over the responsibilities of our science society. After the initiation held during the school day, a formal initiation is held in the evening, and officers are elected. This year, Barbara Branham is presiding over the meetings, while Rosalind Baugher capably handles the position of vice-president. Sergeant-at-arms is Clyde Lampo, and Lila Bishop acts as secretary-treasurer. Biology Club members, We wish you as much fun and achievement in the future as you've had in the past. Page 27
