The Science Honor Society began another successful year with Brother Charles Gausling, S.M., as its moderator. Of all the diocesan honor societies it was the most active. It met every school week at various high schools. The main purpose of the society was to give students a look at what will be facing them in the fields of science. They also got an idea of how to work and act like a Christian scientist. The Troians had Gerald Wunderly as a representative officer to the society. This activity was one of the greatest helps to making good scientists and engineers of future America. Science Honor FRONT ROW: K. Gaertner, J. Frederick, K. Mc- Namara, J. Giardina, J. Becker, N.

After school each day, league games were played with the usual aggressiveness and tenaciousness that pawns, knights and queen present. In its second year, the club has become an active group. Three tournaments were held in the chess club during the year. Anne! SITTING: A. Kamper, P. Wagener, T. Galcla, L. Hauck. STANDING: G.
