This year the NACHS Science Club was accepted for membership in the Future Scientists of America. Meeting programs, planned and presented by members, ranged from making explosives and taking blood samples to a demonstration on glass blowing. Members also enjoyed a trip to Meramec Caverns. The highlight of the year was participation in the Greater St. Louis Science Fair sponsored by the POST-DISPATCH. Chess Club activities started early in the school year with a tournament to determine the initial rankings of the players. Thereafter, rankings were determined by challenge play. Proceeds from dues were used to purchase chess sets. A Checkers Club, division of the Chess Club, was formulated this year.
